Description: DIRTY… This set of pictures offers a small glimpse into the romantic life of a miner... I’m tired and I’m dirty, dirty, dirty! After each day’s session underground, our skin and clothes are stained with a tenacious grime of oxides. This Witches brew of elements marks us. The only way to remove one’s mine make-up is to use abundant soap and water combined with fierce exertion and enthusiasm, aided by a stout bristle brush, to scrub, scrub, scrub!
