The Caress, Grand Boulevards, 1998 Paris
1998

A waiter attentively listens to an elderly woman as he holds a tray with a glass of beer and a cocktail. The waiter is dressed in a traditional vest and bow tie, and the woman is gesturing with her hand near his face. The background is blurred with hints of urban life. The image has a candid, street photography feel to it.
