Greetings From… San Diego, California

While strolling along the harbor in downtown San Diego I came across Unconditional Surrender, a 25-foot tall statue by artist J. Seward Johnson. His work is an interpretation of the famous Alfred Eisenstaedt photograph taken during the V-J Day celebrations in Times Square in 1945. Located in a small park next to the USS Midway aircraft […]
