Lovers at the Palace Theatre, by Weegee, ca. 1940.
I first saw this photograph at the Getty Villa in Southern California when I was in high school, and it has stuck in my mind ever since. It's so beautiful: I love the entangled couple -- her bare feet and curled toes; her pleated skirt and sheer top; his hand under her chin and creeping inter her blouse. I love the audience around them -- ignoring, or staring, or aggravated with this passionate couple.
