Recently I had the pleasure of photographing the hardworking team of mechanics for Denver's RTD, who keep the city's buses going in all sorts of weather. And let me tell you, these guys know their stuff! They're out there rain or shine, snow or sleet, making sure the buses are in tip-top shape and ready to hit the road.

I remember one particularly chilly day when I was there. It wasn't quite a blizzard, but there was definitely a bit of snow on the ground. Despite the cold, the mechanics were hard at work, rolling up their sleeves and getting their hands dirty.

I was impressed by their team-spirit and skill. They are able to diagnose and fix all problems with the vehicle fleet. And they do it all with a smile, even with fingers numb from the cold.

I’m continually impressed to see how these mechanics keep the city moving, no matter the weather. They're the unsung heroes of the public transportation system, and I felt lucky to have had the chance to document their hard work, and make them the heroes for a change.
