Men mixing mud for adobe bricks to renovate the San Fernando Mission, July 29, 1927

Photograph of men mixing mud for adobe bricks to renovate the San Fernando Mission, July 29, 1927. Three men in work clothes and hats dig with shovels at center. They seem to poor dirt into a wheelbarrow which sits on a thin piece of wood. The piece of wood balances over a puddle of murky water. A pile of bricks stands at right along side a pile of haystacks. The large mission building stands in the left background. The closest end of the building is still damaged with discolorations and deterioration in its brick walls. The exterior walls on the far part of the building have been stripped.

1927年7月29日，为修缮圣费尔南多传教站（San Fernando Mission），工人搅拌制作土坯砖（Adobe brick）所用泥浆的纪实照片。画面中央有三名身着工装、头戴工帽的男子正用铁锹挖掘泥土，他们似乎正将泥土倒入一架置于薄木板之上的独轮车中，该木板架于一片浑浊的水坑上方以维持平衡。画面右侧并排堆放着砖坯堆与干草堆。左侧背景处矗立着这座大型传教站建筑，其靠近镜头的一端墙体仍存破损，砖墙面带有褪色与风化劣化痕迹；建筑远端的外墙则已被剥离整修。
