Passionate farewell, New York City, New York, 2009

Public displays of affection are more commonly seen in big cities than in small ones. New York is no exception. Anonymity is a perk here. I found this couple locked in a passionate farewell under one of the ornate lampposts surrounding historic Bryant Park. I waited for a yellow taxi to fill my background and charge the image with vivid primary color and symbolize urban life. Since there are more yellow taxis on the streets of Manhattan than any other kind of vehicle, I only had the wait a fraction of a second. And the kiss took much longer than that.
