Adorable, isn't it? It got me thinking of old fashioned kissing photos, from the 40s, where the man is either going off to war and kissing his sweatheart, or is just coming back after a long absence from home. I think these are just some of the most emotional, poignant photos out there, and so I went looking for some online. Here are the results...
This next one has a kind of interesting story. This was during V-J Day, and apparently this sailor was so overjoyed at the war being over that he went around kissing random women, here kissing a nurse. A famous photographer happened to get this shot, and apparently it's become a famous photo since then.
They even made a statue commemerating the photo, to celebrate some anniversary (sorry, can't remember which anniversary. It might have been the anniversary of V-J Day). The woman in the red pants is widely believed to be the nurse in the original photo. There is some dispute as to who the man is, as many people have come forward claiming to be the one in the photo.
Aww. Just so adorable. I love it. (No pun intended!)
Haha :) That's such a cute story! These are awesome.
