Sewing Machine Was Stopping

Shot in the city of Yangon, Myanmar.

Moved to the next stall in the street. There was also a table and a man sat at the table. An old sewing machine was placed on the table. This man was also a sewer on the street. Many sewers did business on the street which I walked. Different from another sewer I saw just before, this man was not working at that time.

The machine pulley was not spinning. He seemed to idle. He put his arm on his sewing machine and waited for the job coming. So he noticed me at once when I stopped in front of him. And he started to look straight at me without moving an inch. His eyes looked sad somehow. Although there were many stalls which did the same business, the job didn't distribute in an equitable way. There were both busy men and not busy men on the street.
