This week our 'Photography of the week' is the legendary photo which has a global impact and a historical value known worldwide. This is a photo taken by the epic photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt on August 14, 1945 right after the World War II ended and the declaration of the US winning over Japan. Alfred called this photo 'V-J Day in Times Square'. We chose this photo in commemorating Greta Zimmer Friedman who recently passed away in the age of 92. The kiss depicts the exhilarating expression of that soldier who realized after the war ending declaration that troops are not going to go back at war and the thrill went down to kiss. Alfred first time got this photograph published in Life Magazine.
