Getting lost looking at photos on life.com again. Here is the famous Alfred Eisenstaedt photograph of the sailor and nurse at Times Square, celebrating the end of World War II in August 1945.
This image, and some others from that era, have remained in my mind since, as a very young child, I first saw them published. Among the Life photographers from WWII that later would inspire me with their work, and I get to re-explore now, would be W. Eugene Smith and Margaret Bourke-White. Also, you might want to check out Life's photos of Marlene Dietrich with the troops then.
