Gold-mine of Ouahigouya, Burkina Faso – Men, boys, women and children work hard all day long in cruel condition only for board and lodging and a (very) small percentage of the gold dug out. The air temperature is near 50°C, the ground temperature is over 65°C.
Sergio this serie is becoming really outstanding, once again you have succeded to obtain a high standard of colour, composition, photographic quality and subject.
Congratulations
Roberto
nice documentary with great composition of harsh life of these poor people and their invisible bosses who sat on those bags behind him with nice golden colors and and details
All that I want to say is their living condition is undoubtedly awfully terrible, however unfortunately it's the way exactly how the people, part of the people there in Bukinafaso manage to live themselves. There's nothing we can help for them, because there're too many of them and as a single person there is really nothing one can do.
Official assistance from other countries I see no practical effectiveness in helping them rid of this because of several reasons...mostly because there lacks in the most Afrikan countries a strong and good government capable of handling economical difficulties as well as improving the local poor infrastructures.
Giving a begger a coin wouldn't help them rid of being a begger in the future...if the begger wouldn't try to make good use of donated resources...this is the way I feel in long working in the related field.
New eexcellent series on life all around the world on the reality of our existence, habits ... from your great camera eyes and your great heart....

Have a hint of guilt and sadness voting Pro on this!
Having bought some Gold as gifts for Christmas, some of the shine has disappeared.
Still Pro for the image.
Fabulous perspective captures the essence of this individual and his difficult and challenging task. There is a purity to his mood and expression that includes a level of carefree joy that is contagious to the viewer. What is his secret? Great job. PRO
Posso dire che è una grande foto,che rappresenta un realtà che conosco molto bene e che ho documentato a fondo.Tecnicamente perfetta ...me la stavo quasi perdendo.
