    A view of two city park workers sitting in truck with a flat tire near the GW University in Washington, DC. This photograph captured in September, 1999 was taken by Jim Epler in the summer in Washington, DC on a side street near GW University. It is cataloged under the terms people, cities, transportation and urban scenes in this photography database.

   The image was exposed on 35mm Kodak Tri-X 400 black & white film stock using a Pentax Asahi Spotmatic II camera with a Asahi Pentax 55mm f/1.8 lens.

Photographer Comments: I was a little wary when taking this photograph because I thought the two guys in the truck were going to get out and pound me for taking a picture of them sitting in the truck's cab with a flat tire. In reality, I think they were nervous because they might have thought I was a Washington Post newspaper reporter snapping a photograph of them in an embarrassing situation. I think it's funny that they're sitting in the cab rather than trying to fix the tire. It's probably a government requirement that repair personnel are the only ones who are allowed to fix a tire or some type of union stipulation that prevents these workers from making an effort. Silly.

 

Additionally, Jim thought of search words that someone might use to locate this picture including the terms State Department, close enough for government work, F street, government, 21st street, flat tire, government workers, Virginia Avenue, city workers, GW University, E Street, government work and Constitution Avenue, so he included these on this page as a service to himself and others who would like to download this free photograph!
