THE KISS
I shot this one on one of my last visits of Santa Monica beach (LA, California). I was strolling along the coast feeling a bit home sick on the one side, on the other not really wanting to leave LA, which has become my second home after 6 months.
Then I saw the couple standing in the water. First I felt a bit lonely because my financé is 9.000 miles away from me and the two reminded me of our time here in LA. After passing them I thought them standing on the beach, feet in the water, waves rolling towards them might be a beautiful picture.
Even more important: This picture is actually my second attempt: the guy saw me taking the first picture in which they were "just" hugging. So he smiled at me and kissed her for my second shot. Then he smiled at me again (she didn't realise that I was there) and I gave him a thumbs up - walking a way with a tear in my eye because he allowed me to catch this moment of love.
