Christine and I came upon a group of workers doing some autumn blueberry bush cleanup. Their work is tedious and routine. I took some quick photos and used these reference shots later in my studio. I have portrayed two men from this group. I chose to compose a close-up of their partial concealment in the bushes. Blueberry leaves turn a bright red in autumn. I respect these men and women who have emigrated often from privileged lives and now do mundane tasks in order to live in their adopted country.
