Crafts, jobs and working people

This man ekes out a living sharpening knives. He lives in Wellampitiya, a suburb of Colombo, and cycles 20-30 km every day, looking for work. With the grinder attached (an extra 20 km at least) it must be very hard work.
He charges about Rs. 50 to grind a kitchen knife.
On rainy days, he survives by doing manual labour and odd jobs.

The close up picture shows the hammer he uses as a support when operating the grinder, as the bicycle has no stand.
