This shot of a couple holding hands behind their backs makes you the feel like you are witnessing a private, intimate moment between the two. The vertical and horizontal lines draw your eye to the right of the image and then back up to the centre. I love it because of its simplicity and humanistic meaning of companionship and love. In The Moment of Exposure Bob Shamis notes: "though many of his street portraits bear witness to a deep understanding of isolation and loneliness, his own solitariness did not deter him from portraying scenes of intimacy or the longing for human connection. On the contrary, it seems to have sensitized him to these moments and exchanges."
