This example is of a photo of two little kids kissing. It shows infantile recession in the sense that it brings a feeling of innocence of when you were a child before being in love got complicated. It makes you think back to your childhood and the butterflies of having a crush. The structure of feeling with the black and white makes the picture seem classic and sentimental. It makes the viewer remember the first time that you had a crush on as a child and the innocence of it. It brings positive/happy feelings with the way that the little boy is clearly smiling as he kisses the little girl. The black and white makes the photo seem more raw and real to an extent. This shows child over adult because it is obviously pictures of child; which makes it innocent and precious. It is romantic because it gives the feeling of before we were aware of just how hard love can be so it bringing back most likely fond memories of one’s childhood. It shows how simple childhood is. Pictures children kissing are more popular than older people kissing because it is considered “cute” and it brings back a lot of positive feelings. Even though it is just a picture of two young people kissing I think it brings a lot of feelings that may not always be very conscious to people but obviously they are there or pictures like this wouldn’t be so popular. It is advancing the feeling of innocent childhood romance.
