One Of Those Moments

THERE ARE MOMENTS IN YOUR LIFE IN WHICH YOU ALL OF A SUDDEN NOTICE THAT EVERYTHING AROUND YOU FADES OUT OF PERSPECTIVE, EVERYTHING SEEMS TO HAPPEN IN AN OTHER DIMENSION, EXCEPT FOR THAT ONE THING THAT CAUGHT YOUR EYE. THESE MOMENTS ARE RARE. SOMETIMES THEY HAPPEN ONLY ONCE. BUT WHEN THEY DO HAPPEN, THEY WILL STAY WITH YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

Swiss photographer Sandro Bross had shot Pascal and Philippe on several occasions already but never together. His artistic eye told him it would make a nice portrait series, but he also knew there could be one obstacle that could prevent the magic from happening. Blond Pascal is straight, and this could be difficult if the objective is to create a passionate couple shoot. But the boys proved otherwise and in fact, the series turned out to be not only passionate but also a testimony to what almost seems the discovery of a new love.

There are those moments in your life that will always stay with you. Moments you, in your unconscious mind, have always been waiting for but you only know it when it happens. A first kiss, the first passionate embrace, the knowing it might never happen again. Just imagine, it is New Year’s Eve and you join a party with many other people. Some of them you have never seen, or maybe only from a distance. You enjoy yourself and move through the crowd and than it happens. You see him, the man you know from your dreams. He is there and even though you know he isn’t for you, your heart starts to beat a bit faster. And when the evening moves on to that ultimate climax at midnight, you find yourself more and more drawn to him. And then, if he turns around and smiles at you, a smile full of tenderness and assurance, you know that this evening it might all happen after all.

You live the evening in another dimension. Happenings around you seem to have lost their significance. You only have eye for him, and there is only one thought in your mind: what if… Pascale and Philippe seem to live such a moment in this series of photographs. Beautifully captured by Sandro Bross, the two young men discover each other, move in and experience a moment of tenderness and discovery, a careful passion that will surely become one of those moments you will remember all your life. –B-

Philippe is beautiful enough to turn any straight guy gay, at least for a little while.

I am assuming that they are NOT a couple now. ??? Both are adorable and the photographs are splendid and do capture "true love", even if it isn't really there. Marvelous job with the camera.
