Below you will find my selection of images on the subjects of Stairs, Workers in Africa and “Big and Little.” They are culled from monthly photo challenges sponsored by Wiki Commons, part of the same non-profit that offers the familiar Wikipedia. Photographers all over the world freely offer their take on the subject with the only stipulation being that the person using the photographs give attribution.
Each contributor publishes in their own language and the only info required is the name they use on Wiki. Therefore, unfortunately it often leaves me wondering where the image was taken.

Todos sus trabajos son simplemente espectaculares.

I have deeply admired Dusky’s photos and philosophy behind them for a long time. It is a joy to see these recent ones that reflect such a myriad of realities few of us contact except through his kind of site and National Geographic.
Thank you ever so much, Dusky, for sharing these insights through vivid imagery.
You made my day with these amazing photos. Thank you so much for posting. I will return and explore later (when I’m not working)!

What your collections continue to demonstrate, beyond all their great physical features, is your compassion and respect for humanity. You deserve our deepest gratitude.

I really appreciate you saying what caught you specifically. I always have my favorites and others rarely mention theirs.
