My favorite photograph is the "V-J Day in Times Square". This foto was taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt. The photo shows an American sailor kissing a woman in a white dress on Victory over Japan Day in Times Square in New York City, on August 14, 1945.
The photograph was taken with a Leica IIIa camera and was divulged a week later in Life magazine.I really like that Eisenstaedt was photographing a spontaneous action that occurred in Times Square as the announcement of the end of the war . I think the photo is a proof of the happiness and enjoy that the people feels about the end of the war.
Some people think that the photo dont was natural, but a lot of evidence shows that it was a spontaneous moment .The girl who appear in the photo is Edith Shain , the indentity of the sailor is unknown.
In 2005 John Seward Johnson II , made a bronze sculpture "Unconditional Surrender", for the sixtieth anniversary of the photo that capture the end of the war. I really good picture that until now is comment.
