Gleaners

"Agnès Varda’s Films Made the Invisible Visible.  In Faces Places and The Gleaners and I, the director trained her camera on people and issues not frequently seen on-screen."  [The Atlantic]

Today's blipfoto/blog is intended to be a tribute to Agnes who just died at the age of 90.  I went to the local dump where there were lots of gleaners at work - hard smelly work with a low rate of return practised by very poor people who sometimes seemed embarrassed or ashamed but more often exhibiting a truly goodnatured spirit.
