Penang : Home-Street-Home

Some sleep on cold concrete bed.

Some on slightly higher ground. It keeps them away from curious stray dogs and cats.

Some on a bedsheet in front of the shops.

Some have their heads rest on bag pillow and a bike to keep them company.

Others on three-wheel mobile cushioned bed the al fresco style.

And some fortunate ones have the luxury of sleeping in their shop while their workers toil away.

Sleep well.

Cameras used for the shots are Olympus XA and Olympus 35DC on various types of film. If you are interested to find out the film type for each photo just click on them and they will link you to the details on my flickr.

    It’s because it’s so hot in Penang! It’s easy to fall asleep in the middle of the day – especially if you’ve just had a big bowl of cha Kway Teow!!
