V–J day in Times Square




 The picture that I choose is "The kiss of Times Square". This picture was taken by Victor Jorgensen who is a former navy photo journalist. He probably is most notable for taking this photograph of a spontaneous scene in Manhattan. The photo was taken on August 14, 1945, when the World War II ended. 

This picture shows a sailor of U.S. Navy with a nurse hugging and taking a passionate kiss. They weren´t in relationship, they were strangers, unlike that all world think. Then that World War II ended, all the people were happy, therefore the sailor kissed spontaneously to the nurse. 

The photo shows the passion and excitement by go to back home after a long period of war. I like this picture because shows the happiness in dark moments. The spontaneous attitude of they make even more interesting the scene.
