Photographer’s Note
International Kissing Day ?
Kissing ?
I found one...In Machu Picchu ( where else is it possible ?)
Machu Picchu became famous and has been known world wide as the kissers paradise and became the kissers destination from every corner of the globe.
Kissing at the bus stop, in front of the entrance to the city of the Llamas is as much popular ( if not more popular ?) as throwing a young bride into the canals of Brugge right after wedding ceremony or, stealing a bike from the nun in Rome and run away on it.
There you go... You and your kisses sweeter than wine.
.................
A kiss to build a dream on...
.................
Warning: This photo ( like all of them in my gallery) was made with the use of the film camera.
Think twice before awarding such mediocre with your precious, green monkie.
Yellow monkies however, are more than welcome. Please, do not hesitate for a moment.

A kiss is a kiss: a wonderful thing. Always and everywhere. And I love the love. Always.
And you George?

Ah! Kissing in Machu Picchu! What's better than that? (!) Nothing!
Oh... Yes! I know! Kissing in Rome! :-)))))
I was not aware of an International Kissing Day. Why not every day? ;-)
I remember that photo. I still get the feel that they are well aware of you, but I might be wrong. Love the look of the "spectators" in the background. Brings another dimension.
Kiss!
Claire

Hello George,
International kissing day! And I manage to be on my own in a Muslim country... Well, I think I need to postpone the celebrations to a later date then! ;-)
It's an awful photograph off course and a terrible Adidas commercial, but you get a monkey for the use of film hahaha.
Cheers, Dennis

A kiss to build a dream on... Really.
Mówi się, że samo spełnienie to nic w porównaniu z oczekiwaniem na nie. Ten moment - zapowiadający wszystko i niczego jeszcze nie wyjawiający udało Ci się uchwycić i zakląć na wieki. ta chwila przed trwa, choć oni dawno zdążyli się pokłócić i rozstać, albo przeciwnie spłodzić dziecko i ugrzęznąć w stercie pieluch ;)) Tu wciąż i wciąż są pełni oczekiwania...
Za ten cudny pocałunek sto buziaków wirtualnych i choć ten jeden zielony.
T.

hi G
I cannot hardly believe any sane photographer going to a place like Machu Picchu and find kissers but after seeing this photo and reading your note [I have to believe you, no?], I learn a new thing about this place, because so far I have not seen TL photos telling me this new info.
And you did very well to present your story, in a artistic way and most effective manner a photographer can do.
I like it.
Although kissing is not a norm in Asian values and certainly not in Malaysia, I personally am not in favor of public display of it under certain kind of conditions like a shopping crowd or swim pool but I will certainly understand it at a place of departure like airport, train station, boat terminal where people in love or sentiments leave one another and show such emotions.
From your photo, I am not sure if this is one such condition, G because you did not show much backdrop to find out, but as I always believe a note is very useful you did tell me about the bus stop to fit under the condition I mentioned above.
So that makes this a fine capture and you know well how to present it.
The film is just what is should be, a film quality and I appreciate it more because shooting films meant we could not waste too much and reshoot like digital, and you have to be good at the 1st few times :)
And Peru, a place on my list. This is one of your photos that I like pick and like. And I give it a green.
Bravo.
tfs, bill

George muy buen primer plano y un muy buen beso. Los colores son extraordinarios. Me lama mucho la atención las personas de la paste posterior de la fotografía que miran atentamente el beso.
Una gran foto
felicitciones
