At work.

This man is a cable car conductor. San Francisco’s cable cars have been using the turntable at Market and Powell since the late nineteenth century.

G1, 22mm, f/5, 1/250th, ISO100

At this terminus, the conductor has to exit the car after aligning it carefully using a trapdoor in the car’s floor, pulls a lever in the street and then manually turns the car to face uphill once more.

I love this man’s direct, unflinching gaze, and his obvious pride in an occupation over one hundred years old.
