News Time and Place: A belly
Posted by Joeff Davis @joeffly on Wed, May 28, 2008 at 8:11 PM
Normally I try to resist taking a picture of somebody sleeping in the street. Nevertheless, when I pulled into the gas station to buy some gasoline (at $4.09/gallon) and I noticed this guy out of the corner of my eye, it was just too hard to resist. I had just photographed the governor’s Memorial Day service and I had fallen soldiers on my mind. To me this photo is about a guy who works all day in the hot sun, finds a little peace in the shade on his lunch break and is so tired he falls asleep face down on the concrete. There was another guy sitting up eating lunch behind the back tire and another in the passenger seat, but I purposely cropped them out when I framed the photo in hopes of forcing the viewer to create his own narrative.

good eye Joeff. I'd call it Beer $6.00 per gallon but don't tell Thomas, John or I about the comparative pricing. if you ever see us three drunk together, you better get Gena to block off I285 and Shirley to turn on the emergency warning sirens. And if Doug Teeper shows up, call in the National Guard...
