the sailor kissing the nurse picture.
the end of the world war in 1945 was marked by celebrations in america,and this famous photo was a result.it is perhaps the most famous picture of celebration ever.
the photographer alfred eisenstaedt on the photo:
"I was assigned to times square. there were thousands of people milling around....Everybody was kissing each other, civilians, marines, people, soldiers and so on. and there was also a navy man running, grabbing anybody, you know, kissing. i ran ahead of him because i had leica cameras around my neck, focused from 10 feet to infinity. you had only to shoot; you don't have to fumble around. i ran ahead and looked back all the time. i didn't even know what was going on, until he grabbed something in white. and i stood there, and they kissed. and i snapped five times."
