Photo of a Talented Sleeper

Too many late nights during this party season? Or perhaps more likely too many late nights playing computer games. I think this young Thai guy really was asleep as he didn’t move for ages. It was quite impressive how he managed to remain in exactly the same position without his head slumping over or his elbow slipping off his knee. Maybe we all have this talent in our youth.  

I was half-expecting him to suddenly wake up and find the tablecloth stuck to his forehead but he never did and for all I know he is still there fast asleep.

Model Shoot Photo on Thai Street

The Chiang Mai “walking street” markets seem to be as much a place for photography as commerce especially in the main tourist season (Dec-Feb) and I am as big a culprit as anybody!

Whenever I look at this picture I wonder if the two young women in the photo have noticed me taking their picture in the background of their own photograph, and if so, what’s their reaction? My guess is that they wouldn’t notice as I shot-from-the-hip and the camera never left my side but I still worry that I might be perceived as doing something sneaky to the extent of creepy. I was, after all, taking a low angle shot of a woman in a short skirt but hopefully you agree there’s nothing distasteful about the result.
