Cotton Collector

2007.12.01






They are called Seasonal Collecter, who come to Xinjiang from all over China like migrant birds at the beginning of autumn hen cotton are mature and leave after everthing is done. During the season, huge groups of women from Henan, Shandong, Anhui, Gansu Shanxi and so on would emerge in the railway station, in the same scale of the Spring Transport. Thousands of cotton collectors make a great migration across the east and the west.

ClaudePechabaden Thank you for showing that...It does remind me to respect and say a thank you to all those clothes I am wearing... It is so easy to take things for granted...But there are otehr humans there helping us and us helping other humans that are not aware of us... What a life.
