La guera

Today when we went out to shoot the personal interviews with the “jornaleros”, I was hoping to talk to the lady that the guys call “La Guera” (the blondie). Unfortunately we were not able to talk to her because she was not there today. I had previously interviewed her on a previous project for work, and I was hoping to see her again because she very helpful and willing to work with us.

When we asked for her, we were told that it has been very slow lately at any corner that they go. There is a shortage of work because the weather is changing, and it is getting colder so there is not as much outside work any more. But they still go hoping that someone needs work inside, or even outside. They do not mind working in a bad weather, they just do not like it when they can not find a job.
