Knowning that China produces most of the things we use in our daily lives, photographer Edward Burtynsky decided to show us how these chinese workers live. Its worth noting that 70% of Christmas decorations, 29% of television sets, 75% of toys and probably almost 100% of t-shirts are produced in China, by millions of Chinese workers. His photographs are both amazing and disturbing.
One Review for the Chinese Workers photographed by Edward Burtynsky
Interesting pictures, however I must say one of your comments is wrong. I just checked through my entire shirt collection, composing of about 20-30 shirts, and not one was made in China. Actually, I’ve never recalled ever seeing a shirt that was made in China. Sweatshirts, yes, but no shirts. Most of my shirts, I’d say about over 80% were made in Honduras, several of them were made in El Salvador, two were made in the US (they’re part of Rob Halford’s “Metal God” line, so thats on purpose, and they’re still cheap at $10-$15 a shirt), I used to have one that was from Vietnam, and one that was from some Middle Eastern Country
Sorry, I’m don’t mean to criticize you so harshly, I just thought about putting in my own voice in, if that’s OK
