Photo essay: Gerd Ludwig’s ‘sleeping cars’
The documentary photographer lives in Los Angeles, and at night he searches for ‘sleeping cars’
Covered up: ‘My cars are loners,’ writes Ludwig in the introduction to Sleeping Cars, a large-format photo book to be published in the spring. ‘I’ve spied on them in their nightgowns. I’ve watched some sleep in the nude; some take afternoon naps and a few lucky ones get to sleep together.’ (Gerd Ludwig/National Geographic)
