A factory portrait

As I wrote some time ago, in one of my introductory posts, I work for a manufacturing company that produces metal welded pieces. From chassis to huge booms for the agricultural machines. I became deeply involved in the processes of this factory, as I am coordinating the supply chain and, since I've been here for almost nine years, I got attached by its people also.

Being an enthusiast photographer I started to take photos of the workers here, of the factory and of its processes. Industrial settings always posed a great interest for me, as I find the connection between man and machine interesting.

That was it, for now. I have more of them. If you like this kind of documentary approaches, I will post some more.
