Vj Day Statue

Taken on Ilford XP2 with a 1961 Minolta AL.

Some tourists getting a kick out of the kissing giants down by the USS Midway.

Oh, and you know you're a bad-ass when one of your photos gets turned into a massive statue.

Interestingly, I've read that the kiss in the original photo was not exactly consensual. The guy was apparently a little nuts and did this to several girls with variable reactions. Supposedly her back bend was because she was trying to get away from him . . . ;D

Cool shot!

Doesn't surprise me -- not all photos are what they seem. Nevertheless, it's a historic photo!

LOL! It's like the same thing, only opposite! The print turned out well on this one -- I think you'll be happy with it. There is a small scratch on the negative (in the sky region), but you can't see it unless you're about 6 inches from the print. Other than that, it's very clean.
