About this ebook
John Davies, an inveterate traveller and unstoppable people watcher, loves to document people going about their daily business around the world. He photographs ordinary people of all cultures and climes be they from Senegal or Shanghai, London or Laos; be they workers or wood collectors, chefs or chiefs. What they all have in common in this wonderfully diverse world is that at least at some time of the day, they are getting around and about.
