I had always forbidden myself from photographing the human misery of Paris's many homeless.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confinement changed my outlook.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passers-by had all but disappeared, and when I walked around my neighborhood, I only noticed them, and there were a lot of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It just so happened that at my crossroads, a few homeless people came regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took an interest in them, chatted with them, and observed from my balcony scenes of generosity ... very varied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scenes of anonymous donations made while the homeless man was asleep<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others prepared in advance, with dialogue research and photos<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One evening at two in the morning, I heard a poignant cry: \"Please, help!\" and saw a neighbor throw a small package (probably money) into the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

And then I was able to observe this lady's gift for strict adherence to social distancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One afternoon I spotted a homeless man lying on the sidewalk, just in front of a crosswalk, under the indifferent gaze of passers-by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, another homeless man comes to his aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and move it to a more appropriate location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
