File details

In the heart of this old colonial town lies a colourful backstreet. The outside walls of the houses slopes down from right to left and at the front of shot one can make out the edge of a bumpy pavement. The wall in the background has been painted halfway in a rustic red colour. The wooden doorway is visibly closed and there are iron bars in front of the only visable window. Behind the bars is a local barbers as one can just about make out the shapes of a barber and his client sitting down. On the pavement on the foreground lies a local dressed from head to toe in beige linen. He is sleeping on the dusty ground with his legs crossed and his hands lying gently on his chest. His skin is dark and worn and although his position seems a little unorthodox on the whole he seems surprisingly comfortable.
