The Work Explorer - http://theworkexplorer.com/

It's a personal photojournalism project to learn more about different occupations and the people who work in them.

"We spend about 30% of our waking adult lives working. During that time, many of us experience only a small fraction of the available varieties of work. We may have some understanding of the occupations held by our friends, family, and coworkers. Outside of this subset of jobs, we likely have little insight into the work lives of millions of other people.

Why do we work? How did we choose our occupations? Are we happy with our jobs? I created The Work Explorer to answer questions like these through interviews and photos. I hope to find interesting stories, jobs, and people along the way."




Cool! I've had this book on my to-read: "Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do" (http://www.amazon.com/dp/1565843428/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl...)


Cool, I'll have to check that out. Thanks for sharing!


I like this a lot! I'd be interested to see a few more candid photos of you subjects actually doing their work too.


Hey, thanks! I appreciate your feedback. That's a good suggestion.


Nice work - I enjoyed reading the front page posts!


Thanks!
