You've seen it elsewhere and I've posted this picture before. Wolfgang Tillmans is the German photographer who took the 2002 image called The Cock (Kiss). Taken at a gay nightclub in London, it's an intimate, close-up image of two men kissing. Though it's 20 years old, the image's power continues to resonate: Following the 2016 mass shootings at Pulse nightclub, it made viral rounds on the internet. The Cock (Kiss) explores themes often found in Tillmans' photographs: youth, innocence, and joy. It's also the cover image for the novel by Douglas Stuart -- Young Mungo -- I'm wrapping up.
