When I take a street photo, I consider myself lucky if I can find one where the answers are not so obvious.
Like this one below -
Is this man just taking a short rest or is he having a good sleep?
Is he lazying away his time or is he recovering from fatigue?
What is his story? Is Life hard on him or does he contributes to to it?
If he is wearing a cap, is the farmer's hat his? And is that his motorbike?
How come he is sleeping in that table and why in that position instead of leg straight?

Maybe I'm odd, but this is the type of photos I like to take.
And with questions, I'll never have a firm answer to.

Thanks Hit47.
Here is the second part of the picture. The addition of the small child adds a new dimension to the story (I think). He was a bonus.
I wonder what he thinks so I try to tell their stories. Probably got it wrong too. smile.gif
