Life Is But Viagra, a photo from Malopolskie, Est

Photographer's Note

A different take on the old buddhist saying that is reinforced by 50 emails I get every single day.

I have also been accused by some that the images I post are good for serial killers or psychos, hmmmm, please don't forget about sex maniacs.

Well ladies and gents, passion doesn't have to stop at 19 as we are reminded by this middle aged couple. Wonderfull warm evening in Krakow, patios of all restaurants are full of poeple and life, we are smiling, talking, showing love, this isn't the communist country I remember when I was a kid or teenager, the grey is gone and replaced by happy colours, life is good.

Last time I was whispering for fear of making you disappear again. And you told me to not hesitate to scream if need be. So be it.
I LOVE IT!!!
:))))))
In this kind of experiment, there is many, many possible flaws: overexposed parts to a point where it is only white pixels, colors don't fit together, too much blur that render the photo unreadable, and so on...
Geez! I can't find a flaw on this one!
The love is flaming in myriads of colors! What more do we need to express what love is in the first hours of passion?
Did I say it? I LOVE IT!!!
It is good to have you back Peter...

Hi Peter,

Interesting picture. I would say that the beauty of a scene is not how it shows but on how you chose to reflect it.
Great job.
Regards, Hemant

Una gran imagen abstracta, supiste sacar el alma a la realidad de este momento.

Cool one again, Peter, uncompromising, poetic and "painful" somwhoe with a strange ache like so many of your "only too rare" shots are.
Keep em coming, mate!

Impressionnist painting ... the blur, the lighting waves, all highlight the excitement of the moment. In addition to this metaphor, the primary colors may also illustrate the different steps in love (fire/red, steady blue sky/sea, stable/green) ...

The only defect I see here is the too much visible RVB noise.

"sex maniacs." is this man currently handling a mobile phone or a knife ;o) ?

Dear Peter,
What a wonderfully warm photo...a truly impressionistic touch!

Impressionism for the 21st century! There's just enough clarity that we can readily understand the scene, see that they are not 19 any more, see that they are nonetheless enjoying the night, the lights, the glamor. The poetry comes through. Technically it's excellent, too, Peter, nothing overexposed which is hard to accomplish at night. Regards, Ken.

You've got me surprized! two uploads in a week! you're competing with Norbert... how do you want me to follow this pace?

You're right, Peter, I won't forget now. Blame on me. My apologies and warm regards to all the sex maniacs.
There are more than blue pills, I can also see a green, a yellow and a red one in your picture : and there's also Ecstasy!
I guess that's what you wanted to show with this psychedelic image, looking almost like the scopitone of a Brian Jones or Strawberry Alarm Clock clip. My best regards to drug addicts too.

Wish there was may be less of that noise but overall very acceptable to me.

Bonjour Peter,

Long time no see... But it's for everybody else the same, life goes on, priorities change, or interests, or too much to do, too little time?
But today is Sunday and I thouhght I should check my "old friends" ;o)

Well, it was quite a good idea because I hadn't discovered this one yet, even if it's now 6 months later.
Such a great image, I mean especially the texture, the softness, the dreamy mood, the bright tones, the music I can hear, the emotions you traduct here!
Just wonderfully well achieved.
