doing the laundry

This image brought back memories of my childhood in Connecticut. I used to go to the laundromat to wash the clothes, but we did not have the carriages to bring the clothes to the laundromat. We had to carry them on our backs and most of times the bag was heavier or larger than we were. Please note that I was only about 9 years old and a real skinny kid.

In this photograph this women is able to carry two bags in the cart and two in her arms in order to get her work done. She is very industrious and I see this everyday in different ways on the streets of Irvington, New Jersey, my home away from home for 29 years.
