Two Famous Kiss Photographs
Cark Muscarello, New York. I came across this one on website long time ago. Later I realized this is a very famous photograph shot in Time Square on August 15, 1945. Doisneau caught the moment when a sailor grabbed a girl in white and kissed her. They were strangers but they made such a forever moment.
Robert Doisneau, Paris. When my friend pointed out this picture to me in a french restaurant in Toronto not long time ago, I suddenly recalled the one by Cark Muscarello. However, they are very different. If you look carefully into this picture, you will find everything else except the two kissers are moving. Time fixed at these two people in love.

the first pic was not taken by Doisneau, it’s a picture taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt during the celebration of V-J day

Hi, this is the first time i see the kissing photo from Eisenstaedt and its amazing that this couple is very famous in San Diego, California, where they have a huge about 8 meter tall statue in Seaport Village :) Lenka
