So this weekend one of my roommates from St. George, UT, Kelli, came to San Diego to visit. Among doing many things we had our picture taken by a very famous statue. You can't tell in the picture of us, but the statue is huge, we only go up to the nurses feet.
This is the original picture of the American sailor kissing a young woman on V-J Day in Time Square on August 14, 1945, taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt.
J.Seward Johnson Jr. made a sculpture based on Eisenstaedt's photo of V-J Day, titled Unconditional Surrender in 2005.
