We had the privilege of being allowed on the floor of the tannery amongst the vats, or rather on the wet, slippery, narrow edges of the ledges of the concrete vats lined with half treated hides, the vats being filled with noxious chemicals. One slip and we would have joined the workers along with our equipment, or worse slipped and fallen with possibility of breaking our skulls.
I raise my hat to these workers submersed on a daily basis in appalling conditions in the blazing heat often without any protection for twelve hours a day.
Most are young and fit, rather than the geriatric, arthritic and frail photographers that it pains me to say who were trying their best to stay alive.
