Sweet dreams, a photo from Attiki, Attica

Photographer's Note

Athènes, juin 2007, sur l'heure du midi, celui qui semble un sans-abri fait la sieste, nullement dérangé par la frénésie de la ville qui baigne dans une grande chaleur. Rêve-t-il en couleurs ?

Hello Jean. Can one sleep in such a way in all public? It seems somehow possible. The man lies in a way there, as if wait he for his packing in gift paper. An interesting and worth seeing snapshot. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hi Jean,
Nice photo indeed. It has so many meanings with the man is sleeping and dreaming, and the colours behind him. As if it has a story. Good work!

Hey Jean
Your idea to have the lowlife in contrast with the colorful environment gives a good impression but i m afraid it is just a first impression. You do not dramatize the condition of the manand you do not make a comment about the tolerance or intolerance of society. One my expect to see a child to sleep in such a place and make the parallilism of the colorful dreems. It does not work for me that way with the man. Besides the colors are too bright and happy so you do not sympathize the man.
In conclusion i have to say i was impressed visually by the picture but the contents are not particularly aggreeable to me.
