This photo caught my eye, in that, it pulled me down. The angle from above, the simple daily items that surround the couple, contrast from the light floor creating a space especially for them, pulling towards them. It brought my feelings to the realities of love, yerning, and loss. How waiting for a lover whose away, at war, or somewhere far and uncertain, can create a pulling of the heart to the sadest of places, of longing and greif. Even in their reuniting and physical embrace, the yerning is still felt in the photo.
