Eisie talks about
his
most famous photograph.
"In Times Square on V.J.
Day, I saw a sailor running along the street grabbing every girl in sight.
I was running ahead of him with my Leica looking back over my shoulder.
Then suddenly, in a flash, I saw something white being grabbed. I turned
around and clicked the moment the sailor kissed the nurse...I took exactly
four pictures. It was done within a few seconds."
- Alfred
Eisenstaedt
