During the first parisian confinement (Marc 18 to June 15) I took about 3000 pictures from my second floor balcony, located on boulevard Voltaire, near Place de la République. I have selected 140 that reflected the "sparks of humanity" to make a book "De mon balcon.Chronique d'un confinement parisien" (From my balcony. Chronicle of a parisian confinement" . I had a unique opportunity to observe from my balcony , scenes reflecting a wide range of emotions an situations. These 5 photos are representatives examples of the" sparks of humanity" I was able to observe in this unique period
