Art with Heart.
It's about Love.
It's about Community.
It's about Healing.
The heart-lifting effort to collect 10,000 photographs of the affectionately-inclined from around the world.

Taking part in the Smooch! shoot with Jesse brought me back to days long ago when we were close. He is autistic and as a child, he had trouble communicating but, unlike others with autism, he allowed me to touch and snuggle with him.  Then when he grew up, he didn’t want the physical aspect anymore, though we remained emotionally close. It was such a surprise that I didn’t have to convince him to do the picture. He was happy to smooch ~ it was almost magic!
