"Even though fixed in time, a photograph evokes as much feeling as that which comes from music or dance. Whatever the mode, from the snapshot to the decisive moment to multi media montage - the intent and purpose of photography is to render in visual terms feelings and experiences that often elude the ability of words to describe. In any case the eyes have it and the imagination will always soar further than was expected.”

Ralph Gibson
A couple embrace beside a columned wall, a gesture seen in cities everywhere, yet here it feels different. The woman’s hand, firm and tender, cradles the man's head with a force that speaks not only of love but of necessity.
Why does this feel more profound than the countless embraces we pass by daily? There is something deeply human here. Something timeless.
