Another book of moments (see post 21st March 2019) is People Kissing by Levine and Ramey (Princetown Architectural Press 2019). More active that quiet moments, the sub-title is ‘A Century of Photographs’ and it reveals the shifts in social and cultural attitudes around this intimacy that have occurred over that time (1880 -1975). From Ambrotype to Polaroid, it’s incidentally a history of photography. Time for a volume on people drinking coffee? I wouldn’t be surprised if there is one already.
