Day Sleepers - Cool Project

My Day Sleepers (NYC), by Reed A. George
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7
iso 800, f1.8, 1/125 sec.
 
I captured these guys sleeping on the subway in NYC. It's interesting to see people sleeping in public places, especially when they're not unfortunate homeless people.
 
I read an interesting piece on the Leica Camera Blog about Eric Leleu, a Frenchman who did an extensive project, photographing "day sleepers" in China. Interestingly, Eric used a Leica M6 for many years, and more recently a digital Leica M240, but in both cases with just one lens - a 35mm f1.4 Summilux.
