This is another shot of a Latin King with his girlfriend. Here they’re engaged in a hot and passionate kiss. Life was so difficult for many people in Uptown, that they often sought “relief” in relationships. I have no doubt that these two felt genuine affection for each other. But I also felt that they were performing for the camera. Perhaps because they wanted to appear more adult. Perhaps because they wanted to shock people. Perhaps because they wanted to show off. Whatever the motive, I remember them holding the kiss for what seemed like an eternity.
