  1. You know, I never much liked that rapey Victory Day photo by Alfred Eisenstaedt, printed in Life Magazine, with the sailor kissing a "nurse" in celebration of the end of the war. I'm happy to see that the original image that Life was lifting from, the header on "spare the sweets," seems a little more consensual.

    all the teeny images are all so great! esp the community sing image and the walking supper table.
