A candid taken in Bangkok with the Canon Powershot A95. I sure miss that swivelscreen :-(

This is one of the best I've seen here. You have a high conceptual contrast but a low visual contrast on your photo. It can be a paradox too, and I like it.
Thanks for Sharing KoPi

LOL....great title, and apt, too. If this were flickr I would Fav it just for the title.

I must say, shooting a lot in BKK over the last ten months, this worker is typical. The Thais seem to know how to spread out effort over the length of a day....

thanks lol... got lots of nice comments in the screening... but they were all about the title lol.
always had a soft spot for this photo, so really glad it made it and it made some of you smile :-)
The inspiration for the long title came from work, where I often get reports with these very long titles on my desk (mind you, often accompanied by a subtitle double this long lol).
But every now and then I like them for a photo, especially the photos that are already slightly surreal.
Thought about the humour category, but it felt a bit like telling people "now you have to laugh", but I don't have enough confidence for that, so stuck with the street category, where I just think it really belongs anyway. For me often the best street photography contains an element of humour.
Thanks again :-)

LOL, it definitely should be in humour category, Koen - very very funny shot :)) thanks for sharing!

Please title all of my submissions for me. So why is this not in the Humour category? Is there a check box on the submission page that says "This image contains street moments" and the injunction, "All images that contain street moments must be submitted to the Street category"?

This is a funny foto and you are a funny guy.
