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.

I remember where I was, elementary school. Do you remember where you were? How about the day Martin Luther King was assassinated ? How about Bobby Kennedy ?

I found this magazine at an estate sale. It is in excellent condition.It is too large to fit on my scanner, so I am having to photograph it with my camera.
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.
