Waking Up at WalMart: Nolan Conway



I had no idea WalMart has a policy regarding customers sleeping in their parking lots.  I may have to do this on my next visit to the US and see what I can see.  Maybe even replicate Conway's project for evidence of regional variations.  As my relatives might say, What a hoot!

The central arc in the photo above appears to pinch the image and is interesting not only for its geometry, but also for its strong interior light.  My guess is the  image out-of-the-camera didn't reveal nearly as much.  

The NYTimes magazine ran a feature a month ago, and one of the paper's blog writers followed with an interview.  Conway's website has a few additional photos not included in the feature.
