Walk on by

It's a dead loss trying to get attention in Lamma Island's Main Street, especially if you're a body lying in what looks like police tape to mark an incident of some kind.

This was the scene that greeted me as I was on my way home last night from a South China Morning Post photo job and, as I had my camera gear on me, I decided to snap away and see how many people stopped to see what was going on. Well, nobody did. But, then again, perhaps they already knew that the tape on the ground was no more than a street artist's prank and the body lying there was another prankster who decided to play dead just for the hell of it.

The body, who gave his name as Roger Federer (hmmmmm), said that although he hadn't placed the tape on the street, he wished he had. "That's just fantastic," was his comment.
