Description
A close-up image of this larger-than-life sculpture (by Seward Johnson) depicting the iconic 1945 image of a sailor planting a kiss on a nurse. In 1945, photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt captured a uniformed sailor holding a nurse in his arms in New Yorks Times Square on the day most Americans learned of the Japanese surrender in World War II, known as V-J Day.
This sculpture is called Embracing Peace,. It is a 25-foot, 15,000-pound piece, and was installed by crews outside the Custom House Museum in advance of a year-long exhibit celebrating the centennial of the Navys aviation presence on the island.
The iconic sculpture is situated immediately in front of the Museum of Art and History in the heart of Key West.
All images are taken with a Canon 5D III (full frame) and a Canon 7D II (crop frame) using a variety of Canon L-Series lenses, and Tamron and Sigma pro-line lenses; processed in RAW with ACR, PSC, Photomatix, and a variety of other imaging software.
