That
picture was taken on 14th august of 1945 in U.S.A. by Alfred Eisentaedt.
That afternoon, all the country was happy because they had won the war and 750.000 persons visited the Times Square. Alfred, that was a journalist and photographer decided go to that place and take pictures. When he was in the street he saw a cheerful sailor that hug and kiss to everybody. Eisentaedt follow him. And then, he realize that the sailor had found a nurse. He took her in his arms and he kissed her. In that moment he never thought that the picture will be one of the most famous in the world. The identity of the characters was a secret for a long time but finally, all the people can know who was the person that kissed a nurse to show his hapiness.

I think that is a great picture because the story
is very funny. Also, I considered that the photographer made a good job because
he was able to capture the scene in the perfect moment.
