Neat covert capture! I must be uncomfortable to sleep on such a hard surface, but I guess when you're tired you're tired.

Ace from Washington DC, United States

love the concept... the whole cloak-and-dagger feel to it. Invasion mounted for photographic conquest... intriguing... I once thought about 'invading' a firehouse, with all these firemen, or something.. then I thought different about it, on the offchance that they might have weapons...:-)

Some people can sleep anywhere. I like all the different patterns on his clothing.

@Nick: That is their fashion and culture,pretty comfortable wearing it,makes them very nice to sleep.

Looks like is having a good rest (in spite of the hard surface :))
The forms created by his clothes and the patterns on them work in a most wonderful way...it's quite relaxing... :D Very nice capture! (Hope you didn't wake him up!)
