The Kiss

Ah, the kiss. �I have always been a bit of a romanic and definitely love to kiss. �It is funny though, sometimes you can have two people who are great kissers, but when they kiss, hmm, it is just not good. �Yet most of us know there are times when you have kissed, that someone, and wow, the kissing is amazing, transforming and dare I say delicious.

The most common definition I found was; a kiss, is the touch or pressing of one’s lips against another person. �Whether we call it kissing, snogging, smooching or necking, almost everyone has done it or will. Although, apparently about 10% of the earth’s population does not partake, for various reasons.

Depending on culture and context, a kiss can express sentiments of love, passion, romance, sexual attraction, affection, respect and greetings. �In some situations a kiss is a ritual, formal or symbolic, a gesture of devotion and respect. “So they sealed it with a kiss.”

As a photographer, I have seen many a kiss. �So on this eve of Valentine’s Day, I hope you will all, have someone to kiss, or remember a kiss, or perhaps, you will have your first kiss.

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone.

There is that moment, that anticipation just before, the kiss.

It begins with a thought of a kiss, a question, “will they kiss me?” and then you surrender. �It may be a soft kiss on the cheek, the neck or the shoulder. �Some are subtle, understated but without a doubt a connection is created.

We get kisses from our almost sister-in-laws, from our children, from fathers and mothers and even kisses, which are much more like nibbles, from our uncles.
