At photograph that a like
My favorite picture shows a sailor kissing a nurse. It is from 1940.
The picture’s story is the following one: When the Second World War finished, everyone was very happy celebrating on the street. Among these people were the sailors and one of them saw a nurse on her way to work, and then he took her in his arms and kiss her. They didn’t know each other, but it was a moment that reflected all those feelings of people who were living at that time and it was captured by a photographer.
It is a very spontaneous and lovely picture, which has passed through years. I remember having watched it in a documentary when I was little child, and it always caught my attention. It is an image that captures the exuberance of people at that time, which permeated the streets and was felt throughout the city.
The happiness of the end of war and all the things that it meant go beyond what people like me (who did not live the experience) could know, but thanks to photos like this we can at least imagine it.
