After Cecil Beaton. Photo taken by my friend Jena from my idea. That's me with the bandage. I had radiosurgery on my brain today. When I saw my bandage from the frame bolts, I had to do it. Apologies to little Eileen Dunne, the original 'Air Raid Victim' from the cover of Life Magazine on 23 September, 1940.

Every year on the anniversary marking the end of World War II, the Times Square Alliance invites couples (though strangers would be more appropriate) to come make out in the same spot this nameless couple did just 62 years ago.
"Couples of all ages and from all walks of life were invited to meet in front of the sculpture “Unconditional Surrender”, which was created by acclaimed artist Seward Johnson, memorializing a famous photo snapped by Lieutenant Victor Jorgenson and evoking the iconic LIFE magazine cover photo taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt.", reported the Alliance website.
Kissers were handed out a sailor cap, roses and... breath mints!
For more, much better pictures, visit the Times Square Alliance website.
For clues that reveal who might have been the passionate nurse and sailor of the picture, read Sewell Chan's article "When a Kiss Isn’t Just a Kiss" in The New New York Times.
As the family goes through a lifetime's worth of accumulated belongings at the house of my wife's parents, deciding what to auction, what to donate and what to keep, I kept this Batman cover story issue of Life magazine from the 1960s.

Representing hope and freedom, a 25 foot, 6,000 pound statue named, UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER, by world-renowned artist, J. Seward Johnson, is a three-dimensional interpretation of a photo taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt of a Sailor, Carl Muscarello, kissing a nurse, Edith Shain, in Times Square, New York City on Aug. 14, 1945, following the announcement of V-J Day.
Edith Shain, the nurse memorialized in Eisenstaedt’s photo, states, "There is so much romance in the statue; it gives such a feeling of hope to all who look at it."
“This statue brings back so many memories of peace, love and happiness. During the moment of the kiss I don’t remember much, it happened so fast and it happened at the perfect time. I didn’t even look at the Sailor who was kissing me,” Shain continued. “I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment like any woman would have done.”
For the next year, the sculpture will stand next to the USS Midway Museum on the San Diego Bay. It was previously displayed in New York City in 2005 and Sarasota, Florida in 2006.
I have always had a very strong visual memory, so when I saw the photo of Clint Eastwood on the Ffffound! website this week I recognised the image from way back in 1981, when Magnum Books published this collection of Philip K Dick's short stories.
It was always obvious to me that the guy on the cover was Clint, but I never thought I'd track down the source photo!
Oh - and don't be put off by the dismal film they made of the title story with Nic Cage (I believe it was called "Next"). PKD's work is well worth reading.
