Do we really know what love is? Yeah--probably. It takes on funny roles sometimes. People say they love pizza or ice cream--but is it really love--or just an extreme desire. I mean we can all live without ice cream--but can we live without love? I've often been skeptical of love even though I believe in it wholeheartedly. Excitement, lust and want often disguise themselves as love--especially when we''re young(we learn in time really when a love is something so deep and true). When I recently photographed this high school senior couple I realized that these two young people do seem to have quite a bit figured out about love already. Simple things like a little glance they'd give each other--especially when the other didn't even know, a touch and another seemingly simple acknowledgment that some graffiti sprayed on the wall was a name spelled the same way and that a picture next to that was what he wanted to do. Simple stuff--but real stuff. After I photographed this pair a week ago or so I posted a group of pictures under the heading of something like 'restoring my faith in humanity'---ok it wasn't quite that, but close---seeing two people support each other the way Alyssa and Jordan seemed to was very impressive to this middle aged guy. As I'm working on their pictures today I'm thinking about their future together and hoping that whatever paths they choose, that they are good paths! SayerMotter Photograph by Richard Sayer.
