Look, observe, see them! Paris street 2005

            Look around, when walking on the street.
There are heroes,  "simple" beautiful  working people
Waiting, thirsty to be 'SEEN" recognised, told a good word.

Near a bank in reconstruction, not far from the Opera in Paris.
"You look like Depardieu (the french actor)" I told him.
He immediately took this pose and was so happy I took this.

As soon as I asked him if I can make a photo of him, here is what he did, enchanted that I wanted to make one of him as much as I was appreciating him and his instant pose for me. 

I wanted to have his adress to send it to him, but he was called to do some work urgently and had to go on with it.

This remains one of my favorite photographs : I made his day and he made mine, in just a minute of interaction.
-------
Aussitôt que je l'ai appercu je voulu lui faire une photo et il a pris cette pose aussitôt après avoir dit "oui", cet ouvrier rencontré sur la rue qui était en train d'aider à déblailler l'intérieur d'un banque qu'on venait à renover, mais pour l'instant en ruines dedans.

il ressemble tellement à un acteur bien connu... quand celui ci était jeune et il eut tel grâce dans ses mouvement et non, les habits ne sont pas un déguisement!

Nous étions ensemble, trois flickerites se promenant à Paris, ici, pas loin de Gare Saint Lazar, en allant vers les Galéries Lafayettes, à Paris.
