Description
Here the brickmaker (ladrillero) in Rosarito, Mexico molds and shapes the carefully mized and aged clay into molds. These workers get from 1-3 pesos per brick which is a lengthy process of mixing, aging and shaping the clay, then sun drying and baking. This can take a week or more.

Very nice and well composed black and white photo. It tells a story about craftsmanship that you don't see much anymore.
