When returning from Taiwan by transit I had to stop in Krasnoyarsk and was lucky to take some pictures of Tajik guest workers at the airport. These three photos were submitted to IOM Photo Competition. Unfortunately none of them became the winner of this competition. The winning photos can be seen at http://www.migrant.tj/konkurs.htm

If you would like to have high resolution of my photos, you may contact me.
