Be Mine, Valentine’s Day
One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men — his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

I’m not a portrait photographer but i do love this shot. We moved back to Europe after 11 years of Africa and I want to find a new interesting photo opportunity that is not yet saturated out there with amateur dslr users.
