Artist's Description
While walking past this statue in San Diego, CA, a couple was being photographed in the same pose.
The Unconditional Surrender AKA “The Kissing Statue” is located along the downtown waterfront, next to the USS Midway in San Diego. The 25-foot installation recreates the famous embrace between a sailor and a nurse celebrating the end of World War II in New York's Times Square in 1945.
The “kissing sailor” statue is 25 feet tall, weighs 6,000 pounds and is called “Unconditional Surrender,” by J. Seward Johnson, although the city of San Diego has officially labeled it the “Embracing Peace” statue.
The statue itself is a remarkably accurate replica of the famous 1945 Life magazine photograph it is based on. The sailor puts his arm around the nurse’s waist, leans her back, and plants one on her lips.
The statue even captures many details-note the hat and the folds in the dress. The statue is 25-feet high.
About World Reflections By Sharon
Welcome and thank you for your interest in my photographs. I try to capture the essence of every subject as it actually exists. I rarely alter a picture and minimally, if at all, use post processing. What the observer sees is how it really existed. Most work is accomplished with attention to detail and in-camera composition and framing, rather than post production manipulation (such as Photoshop). I am basically self-taught and entitle my body of work "World Reflections" because I want to reflect the beauty of nature and the wonders that exist in the world. The "Abstract Lights" collection is my interpretation of light and shapes, with the focus on form and structure. If you see something in my gallery that interests you but prefer...
