I know virtually nothing about this fellow, except that he earns a living on the waters of the Shennong Xi, a tributary of the Yangzi River. He and his colleagues were part of a team taking us on a tour of the gorges. China, 2008.
These are the Shennong Xi boat people, working hard to take us on a fabulous tour of the gorges that surround this tributary of the Yangzi River. These guys were strong and worked so hard throughout, almost made me feel uncomfortable, China. 2008
This is another view of the steep sided gorges of the Shennong Xi, an amazingly untouched landscape leading towards the Yangzi River. The boatmen here are locals who, i presume, made their living doing such work. China, 2008.
