Description
Captured 4/17/14, early in the am, at a bus stop in front of a local strip mall.
I'm so fortunate that I can record humanity at its most dignified.
This individual, whether male or female, did get on the next bus.
I could have titled this Discarded Clothing and no one would have known the difference.
Adjo.

That sure doesn't look too comfortable! Wonderful find and excellent captures of the sleeper; you never know, getting shots like this could help solve a crime sometime. People do the oddest things.

Now see, this is an example of not enough people looking at a shot because they don't 'like' the subject material: But this is what we're taking pictures for in the first place. It's as much a part of urban street life as the faire shots you took. We wonder if he/she is homeless, or just resting before getting on the bus. In either case, the stark contrast of a blanketed body against the clear stone beneath it is powerful. As well as his/her curving with the bend in the wall. And of course the contrast with the bench and (I assume) trash can. The top shot has real contrast, the bottom shot has a music from bench through to the person's head---the sleeper is the climax of the shot, there. Fine journalistic seeing and shame on the site for not bothering more. But it's like that on lots of sites: People don't bother with sights they don't want to see...
