BOLD AS LOVE

Words by Carrie Stetler | Images by Nema Etebar

Photographer Nema Etebar has seen a lot of love on the streets of Philadelphia, his hometown. For Valentine’s Day, we asked him to choose a few of his favorite images of lovers. The results remind us that love is often the sum of many parts, a composite of trust, happiness, lust, tranquility, protectiveness, vulnerability, joy... To quote Jimi Hendrix, they’re all “bold as love.” While love is universal, expressions of love are as individual as a fingerprint. And while it doesn’t always last, nothing is better than a moment spent loving and being loved in return.
