038: Kissing at Central Station


Kiss, originally uploaded by gingerpig2000.

Kiss.

How many lovers have parted with a kiss at Central Station in New York, i wonder? We were not parting, but the concept seemed important, and i managed to get into view part of one of the almost church-like windows of the upper concourse. Note the scarf, a sign of being outside, travelling, and the cropping of the image was designed to focus on this, an unexpected bonus i found in the image.

We saw few people kiss in the city, so I used this occasion to try in a small way to encourage kissing in New York.

I have always been interested in cartoons, and this is another image where i have experimented with minimising the colour palette. Doing this gives me a chance to work on the problem of what is art and what is craft,what both and what is neither. What is my personal art and what is the highest achievements of all humankind figures somewhere in this.
