A Photo I Love!

One photograph I happen to love is V-J Day in Times Square, shot by Alfred Eisenstaedt. The picture depicts a sailor kissing a nurse in a white coat passionately in the middle of Times Square. It was shot in black and white, with the two in the middle of the photo and what seems to be a parade going on around them. It was photographed on the same day it was announced the war on Japan ended. I love this photo because I think it is really romantic, even though the two did not know each other. I think that the soldier was so happy the war had ended that his excitement led him to kiss her. I wish the couple would have actually started dating after the photo was taken.
