A tribute for Robert Doisneau the great Parisian photographer, taken in the Paris of 1950, this picture has become a worldwide symbol for lovers.
Doisneau is known for his spontaneous photographs, the ones showing anonymous people doing simple things in life. He wanted everyone to notice that happiness is in the little things, in the smallest stupid details. Exceptionally, "Le baiser de l'Hôtel de Ville" wasn't taken by mistake, it was set up.
Lovers from everywhere, started to pretend that it was them in the picture and requested some privacy rights. The real lovers of the picture, remained silent until just now. The young lady in the picture admitted that it was Doisneau who asked them to pose for him.
Only few know the mystery behind the legendary photograph. I mean, let's face it, knowing the truth would break the magic of that moment.
A moment written in history forever symbolizing the joy of the Paris, long lost by the depressing period of the occupation.
Happy Valentine's Day!
