The Kiss by the Hotel de Ville



Robert Doisneau once said, "The marvels of daily life are exciting; no movie director can arrange the unexpected that you find in the street."

I discovered Doisneau's works in my French II class, during my sophomore year of High School. He is one of the most famous photographs in the world, and I find his photographs to be absolutely moving.

The photo to the left is entitled "The Kiss by the Hotel de Ville"; and it was taken in 1950. It's exquisite, isn't it?

I love that photo, actually. The concept is co cliche but this photo seems to defy that.

You are up and running. The LitOasis is looking GREAT.

Two suggestions: more posts like the most recent and remove the "word verification" on the comments.
