Economy Class

The man trapped between fellow passenger's feet in a truck in Niger.

Crowded, extreme conditions of transport are both everyday life of people Niger, as well as usual fate of those who try to cross Sahara in the big trucks.Many of them die, of thirst, or abandoned during long arduous journey by people traffickers, all in vain attempt to reached paradise called Europe. / www.nygus.info

Mmmm, sums up travel pretty well and to have feet and faces in the same portrait is pretty unusual. Just pleased it isn't my nose.
