Londonless

There are some photographers that do not capture people asking for money in the streets, inconspicuous figures surrounding the whole mass of this rushing, quickness that is around us. Everywhere.

I have decided to portray them as they are based on sidewalks, wrapped by their blankets, feeding their animals, holding their cups. They exist. They are real and are stationed just there, by your way. Sometimes, you trip over them, even though you try really hard not to stare at them. I have seen them looking everywhere for a sight, a smile, a little proof of humanity through which they may get their coin, their pinch of kindness.

There is a whole world of homeless down there. Here, they are.

[Hay algunos fotógrafos que no captan a gente pidiendo dinero en las calles, esas figuras poco visibles que rodean toda la masa y la rapidez que nos rodea. Por todas partes.He decidido retratarlas, ya que se encuentran en las aceras, cubiertas en sus mantas, cuidando de sus animales o sosteniendo sus tazas. Estas personas existen. Ellas son reales y están apostadas ahí, en tu camino. A veces, uno tropieza con ellas a pesar de lo difícil que es mirarlas fijamente. Las he visto buscando por todas partes una mirada, una sonrisa, una prueba de humanidad a través de la cual pueden obtener su moneda, su pizca de bondad.Hay todo un mundo de personas sin hogar ahí. Aquí están.]
