AN ICONIC PHOTOGRAPH

V-J IN TIMES SQUARE is a photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt that portrays a U.S. Navy sailor grabbing and kissing a woman in a white dress, on Victory over Japan Day (V-J Day) in New York City's, Times Square on 14 August in 1945. The author was photographing a spontaneous event: the end of the World War II.

Apart from the protagonists we can see big buildings and people walking down the street. The photo is in black and white and it is very spontaneous. Of course it is romantic, there is a kiss in the image. This iconic picture is natural and peaceful.

ANECDOTE: BEACH DAY

One sunny day I went with my family to the beach. It was very hot and I and my parents were lying on the loungers and my brother and sister were playing in the white sand. It was all very normal and nobody expected what was going to happen.

I was so nervous, yes I know that people normally go to this place to relax, but I was excited because one day was missing for my birthday. I decided to walk by the shore and I finished at the end of the beach. Afterwards, I got in the water and around me there weren’t a lot of people. I saw something in the distance but I didn’t think it was important. This thing was nearer and nearer and yes it was a shark fin.

I got out of the sea, I ran fast to alarm everybody and finally I went to see if my family was okay. I can say that this is one of my biggest scares
