Le baiser de l'Hôtel de Ville - "Kiss by the Town Hall"
My paraphrase
The main theme of the original photo is love. The "normal" life, just after WWII, wasn't easy to reach. Everything had to be rebuilt and nothing was certain.
The kiss of the couple shows hope. It's a little act of humanity in a world that seems to have forgot it. As in "The Kiss" I wanted to capture the passion between the two lovers. The contest is a little bit different: not the decadent Paris, but a quiet city in which the normal life of two teenagers can go on. |
