Impact of One Photo
By Deb Bloom of Gimme One of Each
V-J Day in Times Square, New York City, 1945 . One day, one moment. A few seconds in time that will live with us forever. There are probably few people that haven't seen this image. A soldier, home from the war, kissing everyone in sight and he kisses this nurse and history stood still. The photographer, a Life magazine photographer, writes. ...“I saw a sailor running along the street grabbing any and every girl in sight.” he explained. “Whether she was a grandmother, stout, thin, old, didn’t make any difference. I was running ahead of him with my Leica looking back over my shoulder…Then suddenly, in a flash, I saw something white being grabbed. I turned around and clicked the moment the sailor kissed the nurse.” Eisenstaedt was very gratified and pleased with this enduring image. “People tell me that when I am in heaven they will remember this picture.” - Eisenstaedt. This photo has come to represent 'Hope, love, peace,' something we all strive for today. Life was simple, innocence was still alive and people helped each other. They were patriotic and loved the United States of America. This is a romantic, joyful moment. The nurse welcoming him home without question, allowing him to grab her and kiss her without any hesitation. The sailor doing what boys his age would normally do, even though he had just returned from the horrors of war. The sailor being back on home soil, to feel safe, to have survived. We all wish we could be this couple. |
