People and a couple kissing on a tramway station.

The Kiss

Posted by M. David Taub (Montpellier, France) on 12 April 2009 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

American Suburb X. Off the beaten path photography and interviews of some famous and not so famous photographers. Some I love, some I hate, but the content is nearly always provocative. A great mix of different styles, subject matter, and perspective on what photography can be. Enjoy.

@john4jack: Good morning Jack and thanks for the kind word...I've been taking care of some errands and so been away from the computer. Also leaving for a few days next week. Some vacation time in the back country here in the south of France. I miss posting each day. Will probably be more consistent again starting the week of the 20th...at least I hope.

Great find ! Moi aussi tu m'as manqué mais la photo du code de la route était tellement extraordinaire & timeless que ça ne m'a pas trop dérangé de revenir chq jour l'admirer. Bonnes petites vacances à toi et à bientôt ~

@Dulcie Andres: Thanks Dulcie, but i must admit my inspiration for any 'kiss' images I do is Robert Doisneau...followed by Alfred Eisenstaedt...my own personal favorite location for them is train stations and airports, lots of emotion going on in those places as people say hello and good-bye to friends and family...

@Veronelle: Bonjour Veronelle (cool name)...hey, some things are more important than making your train :-)

David from Detroit, United States

I posted a comment on another of your posts, saying that you captured a sense of place and time. That is a trait I see in many of your photos. This one does that in an amazing way.
