Human photography essay

The Sleeper Aesthetic

The idea of a sleeper:

It looks boring, plain and slow but in truth under the hood… it is a beast!

Or in other words:

Cars which look really fast are typically not.

And maybe with humans and wealth:

People who look super rich, are most likely to be the most poor.

Also:

People who look poor are often very rich!
