One day Keith Carter was walking along when he saw a man bent over at the waist, his body swaying back and forth. Carter had no idea what the man was doing, but he stopped and took the photograph. “I wish I had gotten closer,” says Carter, “but to tell you the truth, I was scared to.” The “bent man” looked up when the camera clicked but then immediately returned to his hanging position.
