I set up a temporary studio and asked couples to pose for me for a series of photos. As part of the exercise, I asked most to look at each other and then kiss. The results were varied and very surprising. It’s always great to see human emotion in action, especially the loving kind. Thanks to all who participated. I will do it again next year.”
