“A Reflection of Romance” by Gilad Benari.
“Washing my heart in the fresh rain
Washing my eyes from last year’s tears
A new sensation is coming over me, me and you
New York in the rain is a new beginning for us
A reflection of our new feelings lighting up the square
Just a couple hugging in the middle of the Times Square
Washing our hearts in the fresh rain”
The reason that I find Gilad inspirational is that although the photographs themselves are always loaded with emotion and meaning he always compliments his work with a piece of writing, which emphasises visual aspects with beautiful language and for me make the work exceptional.
