EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Is work wonderful?" takes us back to April 1977, where we find ourselves in the serene graveyard of Windlesham Church, Surrey. The image features a group of dedicated grave diggers diligently carrying out their manual labor under the open sky. Among them is 66-year-old Bill Perkins, who has been committed to this job for an impressive 14 years. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of hard work and dedication as these men skillfully handle their tools with precision and expertise. Despite the somber nature of their profession, there is a surprising element that catches our attention – they are all smiling! Perhaps it's a testament to finding joy even in the most challenging tasks or simply reflecting on life's fleeting moments amidst tombstones. The setting itself adds depth to this thought-provoking image. The peacefulness of the churchyard juxtaposed against these diligent workers creates an intriguing contrast between life and death, reminding us of the cyclical nature of existence. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryears, it serves as a reminder that work can be more than just a means to an end; it can be fulfilling and rewarding when approached with passion and purpose. This photograph immortalizes not only these grave diggers but also celebrates every individual who finds fulfillment in their chosen vocation – no matter how unconventional or overlooked it may seem.
