 I saw the "stickman" painting on the wall and decided to see if I could reproduce a real stickman using a slow shutter speed, a candid hip shot and an unsuspecting passerby. The fact that this tall and skinny man had his hand raised to his head mimicking some of the stickmen in the wall painting was a fortunate bonus.
