A STREET PERSON NAPS BEHIND THE BUS STOP AT ADAMS AND WABASH IN CHICAGO SUNDAY. The siesta was captured by photographer and attorney Nima Taradji, who has a gift for seeing what others miss by choice or design.
Taradji, 45, is a founding member of Margin Gallery and The Chicago Photo Union, both cooperative art associations of Chicago's established and/or emerging artists.
