always take my camera when I go to a new place. I observe how people relate to each other – whether alone among strangers, or with their families or friends. I’m checking out body language, waiting for uplifting and sincere human moments, that special touch or kiss.
This image of young lovers – a truly beautiful moment – was photographed in Pisa, Italy, in 1999. All these young couples were sprawled out on the grass making out. It was a fabulous sight. They were enjoying each other and didn’t even notice me running over to take their picture.
