When World War II ended in August 1945, photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt decided to photograph the festivities and celebrations that were happening in the New York City streets. When a young sailor in front of Eisenstaedt started kissing every woman he saw, Eisenstaedt patiently waited for the right moment.
Then, when the sailor grabbed a nurse dressed in white and kissed her on the lips, Eisenstaedt quickly snapped the shot. It appeared the following day in newspapers around the country, and quickly became famous.
