Shallow Feelings

Description

This picture has the strong Viewpoint of Love VS Sex.

A kiss should be beautiful and loving, however in this seedy scene it feels less than perfect. The mattress and dingy setting suggest that sex rather than love is on the minds of the protagonists.

The church in the poster on the wall brings irony to the scene, because some religions are against homosexuality.

Model - Left: Peter, Right: Me.

I do not see the photograph as seedy. It reminds me of several of Cavafy's poems, in which two beautiful boys, presumably naked, are kissing, or making love, in seedy surroundings to which they have been forced by societal prejudice. The boys kissing is the beauty of this photograph; the shabby surroundings are made less shabby by their presence, and the beauty of their affection.
