Street Love
Published by Wing November 28th, 2006 in Everything, Photography
Ever since I started this hobby of street photography, I’ve always wanted my own “love in the street” shot. My very own Kiss by the Hotel de Ville. However, I have also been hesitant in photographing people kissing. I’ve had chances, but I never raised the camera. I’ve always felt a little intrusive, until now.
OK, mine is not a kiss, and the setting isn’t quite Paris, but I made the photograph, and it feels like a milestone, like a held breath set free. It feels good. It feels nice. I’m enjoying my street photography again.

It is a lovely moment, caught well.
It’s nice - buzzy even - to be alert to these little intimate moments when they crop up in the unlikeliest of places.
PS I just bought a little book of Doisneau’s pics on Friday!! The Kiss is on the cover.

Lovely - I love seeing this kind of tender moment on the streets, regardless of the gender of the participants
It’s a reminder of how good it is to be human, sometimes.

I’m very glad to hear that. I’ve been enjoying your last posts on flickr. Keep shooting please!
