Yesterday was Sunday so once again i went out early in the morning to set up some textile shots. I tried this time to stick to locations where i had seen homeless people, which often includes benches and church doorways. I'm thinking partly of the way people leave flowers at locations where there's been some tragedy, memorializing in that sense.

Church doorways.

And of course some places were still occupied.

A couple of guys were drinking on this bench one afternoon when i came by looking for a spot to sit and eat a sandwich.

There's an older woman who i often see in this church doorway.

Sometimes huddled in with found materials like wooden skids for protection.

As homelessness is a tragety,I love your idea of leaving the colourful pieces of clothing as a recognition of a life and also of these little nooks and cranies throughout the city that served as a moment of solace and shelter, brilliant!
