Working Sunday

Sunday morning, early, is the time when there are the least amount of people around on the street, so its a good time to get out and shoot some set ups. My initial destination this morning was this phone booth where i was going for a superman/rapture kinda thing. I think it needed alot more textile, like if the booth was a foot or two deep with discarded clothing.

And you'll recall my neighbourhood street dweller, Didier. Here's a shot i took of his encampment back in September.

With this in mind i  thought i would try something similar on a bench. I think this one really works.

i saw this today in the metro. i was hoping to try something like this but am concerned about security. I was in the north part of the city yesterday when the metro was shut down due to a suspicious package. I'd hate to get busted for suspect clothes.

Here's a slightly closer in shot of the bench. I think the wider angle works slightly better, and conveys more of a sense of a bodily presence. Plus the beer can was a nice touch.

Where's the beer can? I don't see the beer can.

Wonderful in situ work. Sensitive.
