For the MOMENT

So here they are: our picks for the best photographic reinterpretations of Robert Doisneau's "The Kiss." We sighed and wiped sentimental tears from our eyes as we poured over the entries--all three of them; finally, we're ready to present the lovey-dovey couples below, captured on film for Fifteen Minutes.

The grand prize goes to David Morgan Sollors '96 of Eliot House. Now this is a kiss. Actually, they haven't even kissed yet. But when they do, it's gonna be good.

Other faves which we couldn't resist printing include the submissions of Maggie Hoefner '94 and Anonymous.

Just look at that giddy couple in Maggie's photo, Brian J. Murphy '95 (left) and Jonathan D. Caverley '95 (right) on the couch, coyly sipping their tall cool ones and reveling in the ecstasy of loooove. One Crimson photographer commented, "It's not really a kiss. It's more like a lick." Whatev. We think Doisneau would've shot "The Lick" if he could've found one as cute as this.

And speaking of cute, we were impressed by the anonymous submission, straight out of the Eliot House Facebook. They're married tutors. They're vraiment adorable. We salute them, and the submitter who knows a good facebook kiss when he/she sees one. On an index card included in the submission, Anonymous wrote, 'Not undergraduates, but too cute to pass up." We couldn't have said it any better ourselves.

Thanks to everyone who participated. And congratulations to David, who will get a gift certificate to Herrell's, as well as bags of Hershey's "Hugs" and--mais bien sur--"Kisses."
