Stand Up

An unbelievable candid street scene. Yes, the photo is really candid (and totally unexpected!) ))) This is the old industrial area converted into a recreation center. A bar "Stand Up" is located in the cellar of the old factory building. A man peacefully sleeps on the bench just next to the bar entrance. The day is sunny and rather warm. The light is hard. The shadows are clean-cut. The cubical-shaped remnants of the old basement add notes of abstractedness and surreality to the scene. Many lines naturally point to the man. Looking at this image for more than 10 seconds makes you thirsty. The black and white version loses the contrast of the blue and red.
