"The woman is laughing.
And waiting.

But she is sure that the kiss is coming. The man has already closed his eyes and he is already bending his head slightly towards the woman.
He will give her the kiss she is expecting.
So, Erwitt the unhappy husband, the father, the photographer who was prevented from seeing his children growing up manages to let his cool fingertip coax the lens of his camera into bringing out the emotion of a promise kept at the very moment that it was made. It is the absolute guarantee that happiness exists.
And that one can watch it."

The Epic Of Gilgamesh - written by a Middle Eastern scholar 2,500 years before the birth of Christ - commemorated the life of the ruler of the city of Uruk, from which Iraq gets its name.
Now, a German-led expedition has discovered what is thought to be the entire city of Uruk - including, where the Euphrates once flowed, the last resting place of its famous King.

Bellevue Art Museum's address path led to the tfaoi.com meta-site
which led to their Art Locating Service as I tried to reverse engineer the Dona McAdams links
which led to Articles and Essays by Subject
and then of course to 20-21st Century Photography, but no Dona McAdams!
so back to Mozilla history to finish out the links below, then in my ten idle minutes b4 retiring back to the tfaoi Photography site and Lorie Novak at the UofA CCP
which has a link to Collected Visions

thank you and good night
