This are absolutely beautiful! Really great to see these when all we see on the TV is death and destruction. The one with the horse and the girl really hit home with me and I have to admit, I got a little teary-eyed <3

My favorite is the bald man with the little girl. You can see the gentleness in his smile toward her.
Very nice photos. Thanks for showing them to us!

I love these, there really should be more reminders of love and happiness in the world (especially on the internet)… as my dear friend said when she shared this with me..”How often do we forget about love?” Thanks for sharing!

Never really been moved by photography..
the picture of the guy leaned back in his wheelchair definitely moved me.

Very touching and emotional. Love these photos, especially the image of the girl kissing the horse and they both have the same shade of red hair/mane.

Beautiful pictures. Great concept. Although I am not a fan of ‘normal’ photography and mostly prefer landscapes and the likes, this was by far one of the most impressive collection of pictures I have seen. Great job done.

I guess your world is a hetero one but mine is not. Too bad you can’t be more inclusive.

Loving these images! My boyfriend has been gone for 3 months and coming home on Monday. These images are making me him even more!

McMarshall January 24, 2010 at 5:25 am

These are great photos…
Greg– you do realize these are not all couples right? Mother/Daughter, Father/2Daughters, Girl/Horse, Girl/Mouse, etc. Don’t be so negative, these are families and friends; it’s love.

One of the best collection i have seen capturing the subtle variations of the finest emotion:love.
Good stuff. Keep posting.

@Greg

Wow, you think a photographer goes out of his
way to be ‘hetero’, just to exclude a group? I saw nothing
but expressions of love here, not sexuality. Was the rat gay?
How about the horse? Oh, I know, perhaps the pigeons, or
the mother/daughter? Wait, I know! The child kissing the kitten!
You want others to be more ‘tolerant’ of gays? START WITH NOT BEING
INTOLERANT YOURSELF, IDIOT.

It’s incredible how love can be so easily captured yet so difficult to understand.

Smoke a bowl, put on some good tunes and scroll through this photo set. It is impossible to not feel an overwhelming sense of peace.

Some of these are sepia, not black and white. But their good nonetheless.

Hey, these are great photos. One complaint though…. where are the same sex couples?

love is right am I right?

Reply

Sam April 25, 2010 at 1:44 am

There’s something truly wonderful about love. This is a beautiful set of photos. Thanks so much for sharing.

Reply

Mary May 1, 2010 at 7:45 pm

I agree with Greg. Damian, it’s not that we believe that the photographer was deliberately trying to exclude same-sex couples. However, they were excluded nonetheless. We are not intolerant; we are just pointing out underrepresentation. Please try and understand; it hurts.

There is also racial underrepresentation as well. See if you can capture the love between people of other cultures as well.

Reply

AJ May 3, 2010 at 6:40 pm

There are lots of different types of love not captured, that doesn’t mean you have to point it out and call it discrimination. You’re ruining something beautiful for everyone.

Reply

Gene May 6, 2010 at 3:15 pm

Ref to Kyle, #46 — The pigeons are gay, and the other two birds (one is ruffling its feathers) are gay. The bearded man in the park with the two women? — & the two women, one is his sister, and the other is her spouse; he loves them both. Kyle, you are a moron, but I love your moronic sense of love & concern for us…

Just loved the slide.. Its a warm feeling, this page.. Nice pics to portray everything (or the only thing !) that is required (or is solely needed !!) to live (a life worth living !!!)..

Loverly photos! Truly great! I was really suprised by the picture of the teenage couple on the park bench where she has her chin on his shoulder because it actually looks like me and my boyfriend!
It could be us sitting on that bench! Great picture! I really loved that one!

Just because something was left out doesn’t mean it was ‘excluded’, nor was the omission necessarily willful or intentional (or related to a hidden agenda). Being hurt by something unintentional is just silly – if you feel excluded, why don’t you make your own photo collection showcasing what love is to you?

It seems to me that that would be much more productive and less annoying than whining about it.
