Making Babies - from A to Z
By The Reichstag, Berlin one overcast friday morning in April. They were oblivious, besotted. I was about 4 or 5 metres from them taking shots of people crossing on a suspended walkway between two lagre government buildings. I swung my lens around more than a couple of times for some candid photography. They really were oblivious, bless ‘em. A question – do people in love always close their eyes just before they kiss like here?

I think people in love exactly FEEL and SENSE more that they want to SEE. May be that’s why they are closing eyes…
Amazing candid photograph!

What a beautiful moment. I think people close their eyes to shut out everything other than the feeling they are sharing with the other person.
Shelly Hiebert

Cathleen Taraw...
I think so. Wonderful.
Jacqueline Baker
oh how beautiful and i agree with the others people in love want to be lost in the wonderful sensations of love and desire. How sad that marriage and time unfortunately normally kills it so that we who once were partakers now become mere spectators.
Desmond Cannon replied
It’s always lovely to see young love blossom Jacqueline, agreed. Though I am most fortunate to be able to say that even though married for many years, I still am fortunate enough to be a partaker still…

Jacqueline Baker
Oh hope you didn’t think i was including you in my observations coz i wasn’t…..just a sad statement of fact for so many people…....enjoy your partner coz there are many who would give their back teeth for that wonderful sensation again!
Rachel Orrick
Very romantic!
Grandia
great candid!
Nichole Schoff
People don’t always kiss with their eyes closed when they are in love- I love to look into my partners eyes. But some say its a trust thing. I don’t believe it.
Desmond Cannon replied
I’m with you on that Nichole…. :)
mausue
Beautiful candid. They look so engrossed. Closing your eyes before you kiss is apparently a sign of trust. Like the title and the fact that there’s a woman pushing a baby’s pram in the distance. Lovely idea!!
Kate Litzow
you close your eyes cause you just want to take in the moment and the feelings, without getting distracted, everything is out of focus up that close anyway, plus its awkward if you know the other person doesnt have their eyes closed.. when you kiss that person you love, its not just a kiss…
Heather Nel
