Thanks, Mikey. Here's the original scan: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2188556 Ever since I took it, it's been one of my favourites of what I've done. It was a series of about four shots, and the second I took it, I kind of thought I hit a home run. When I saw the contact, I knew it. When I saw the 8x10, I thought it was a grand slam. <vbg> Nothing staged about it, I was at a party after a bike race, and these two old friends (the one on the right, Haley is quite a good friend of mine) were hugging goodbye. Then one kissed the other on the cheek. Then they started "going at it". What could I do? I'm sitting there 2 feet from them with a camera. Ya gotta start snapping, right? Anyway, I showed it to Haley, and she liked it. I showed it to her husband, Pete, and he said, "Hey, that's pretty hot!" I couldn't disagree. Rather ironic that Lasse should dig that one up and show it today, as it was on the streetcar ride home from that party that I took Queen Street Car, 3:30am that you saw earlier today or last night. How weird is that? cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
