I almost never use my flash. For one thing, I don't care for flash photography, unless I am using professional flash units. I liken flash photos to snapshots anyone can take. But I decided to experiment and use fill flash here, to bring up the shadow area. Had there been an HMI light or a reflector available I would have used them instead. Anyway, you can see better the bouquet of roses the nurse is holding as she receives the sailor's kiss. It was not unusual for complete strangers to act so intimate when news of a war's end was announced. It was an affirmation of life.

Odd....They don't mention the weight. I assure you, one would not want to carry it very far.

The renowned photographer Carl Mydans did the shoot for a September LIFE Magazine spread. I feel they're excellent moments in time, and truly compliment BB-61.
Some magazines from World War times on display in the Utah Beach War Museum.
The museum is built around a German bunker (Blockhaus W5).
Utah Beach was the codename for one of the Allied landing beaches during the D-Day invasion of Normandy, as part of Operation Overlord on 6 June 1944. Utah was added to the invasion plan toward the end of the planning stages, when more landing craft became available.
Despite being substantially off course, the U.S. 4th Infantry Division landed there with relatively little resistance, in contrast to Omaha Beach where the fighting was fierce.
Utah beach, about 3 miles (5 km) long, was the westernmost of the five landing beaches, between Pouppeville and La Madeleine. A practice run for these landings, known as Exercise Tiger, took place in April 1944 on the southern coast of the United Kingdom. This training exercise resulted in 749 American servicemen perishing and nearly 300 being wounded after poorly executed naval escort permitted an attack by German E-boats on the landing force.
Nikon S 6114605.
Originally this was a chrome camera body made by Nippon Kogaku 1952/53.
Between 1951 and 1955 Nikon produced more than 36,700 Nikon S rangefinder bodies.
Serial numbers range from about 6094001 to 6129600
They were all made in chrome finish except for a few (estimated around 15) that were commissioned by ‘Life’ magazine for its staff. Some six black cameras have been noted with adequate provenance and fetch extreme prices at auction.
Repainted ‘fakes’ abound with varying quality.
This body has been recently restored with a near mint black repaint, smooth thumbwheel focusing and a clear rangefinder image.
