Top 100 of All time
V-J Day in Times Square
1. I chose this picture because it is a very famous picture and I wanted to know more about the story behind the picture. What caught my eye was how every person in this picture was joyful and smiles were shown across their faces.
2. This photograph was taken at the end of WWII. The photographer, Alfred Eisenstaedt searched for subjects he captured the picture of a joyous and passionate moment, and the picture has been famous ever since.
3. When I first saw the picture I was unaware that the sailor in the photograph hadn't know the nurse, and had just kissed her randomly. Because of this some people think of it as sexual assault while others think of it as an act of excitement and relief in a happy moment.

1. This caught my eye because obviously this isn't something you see everyday, and just the entire atmosphere looked so cool.
2. This photo was taken in outer space by Neil Armstrong. This photo is of a man walking on the moon.
3. Although Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon, most of the photographs are of the second man on the moon, Buzz Aldrin. This is because Neil Armstrong was in charge of the picture tacking.

Lunch Atop A Skyscraper

2. This photograph was staged to represent how massive Rockefeller Center was. All of the men in the photograph did help construct the massive skyscraper.
