Large celebration in Times Square

Five days after the war ended in Japan, there was a large celebration in Times Square, New York. This is how Alfred Eisenstaedt, the father of photojournalism, remembered this event: "I saw a sailor running along the street grabbing any and every girl in sight. 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." The picture appeared in Life Magazine, which asked the unknown couple to meet again, but it never happened.
