23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
To prepare themselves
Two teenagers are seen busily painting their entire bodies silver. It is not for an art performance, nor part of a street theater act. The paint that covers their bodies is their way of earning a living each day. With their shimmering figures under the blazing sun, they stand at traffic light intersections, hoping to draw attention and perhaps a little sympathy from passing motorists.
