This photo was taken near The Temple of Kom Ombo in Egypt
near sunset. An Islamic street cleaner was taking a short break
while falling into some deep thought. Time seemed stopped
completely and irrelevant to him; I immediately took out my
iPhone and captured this beautiful scene before it was gone.

Paddy Chao was born on April 28 1988 in Taipei, Taiwan. He loves taking spontaneous photo shots in daily seemingly routine living to capture the easy-to-miss beauty of people, events and objects. He truly believes that a photo, regardless it was taken by mobile phone or camera, is a good one as long as it reaches into people's inner world.
