It was taken in the early morning close to the Ritz Hotel. The guy is NOT DEAD! And not homeless. Probably a drunk sleeping on top of Metro vents after a night of heavy drinking. The other guy was a cleaner from one the luxury hotels. I tried B&W but preferred the contrast of the gold and the blue - the luxury and the depression.

Ditto. I utterly enjoyed the disparity.
Also that someone with a well trimmed beard, light coloured (cleanish) jacket could be so fast asleep at rush hour...7
