Mendonsa wasn't the photographer, Jerry. He was the sailor. "Life" magazine photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt took the photo.

George Mendonza was the sailor, not the photographer. The nurse died a couple of years ago. I saw a statue of the iconic moment in San Diego Harbor a few years ago. The photographer was Alfred Eisenstaedt.

Thanks for the correction. I can't read the article unless I subscribe. I saw the picture and the headline. The photographer, of course, was Alfred Eisenstaedt.

This statue is in the headlines now because it had red graffiti reading #metoo movement on the nurses leg. She was reported as being kissed without giving her consent but she didn't condemn him given the situation.
Both lived a good long life.

There is conjecture that it was semi-staged at the behest of Eisenstaedt
