Bonnie and Clyde


From an article on www.dailymailonline.co.uk. An image caught by Mo Gelber, who then entered it into a photograph contest. However he first needed the permission of those in the picture. 

It has been likened to Bonnie and Clyde. Most of the feedback I've seen is critical of the photo and advises not to promote the criminals pictured as cool/ positive. 

I think it's great: a perfect moment in time which fully sums up the idea of a possibly toxic but intense relationship. Obviously this is a totally romanticised view and the actual story behind the image is less novel-worthy; but I don't think that matters. Hence the reason I won't be including any other background details. We don't need to know- just get lost in the possibility of a moment.
