Stumbled on this by accident the other day and thought it was interesting. Not sure all of these "changed the world" by excellent photography.

1. some very good opinions.

personally I figured the Kent State girl woulda been on there since that was burned into the brain of a generation...

and i was sad not to see the tiananmen square protester in front of the tank..

4. technically the Tiananmen square protester is video

so doesn't qualify though that image was my first thought

I'd like to have seen this one

5. Oh yeah!..

I remember seeing that on the NatGeo when it came out.. That has to be the most beautiful photo I have ever seen...

2. I think a couple are missing

1) The running Vietnamese napalm victim


2) The dead student at Kent State


These certainly brought home the horrors of the last disastrous war.

6. This has to be on any such list...

First good view of our fragile little Earth hanging in space with a sterile foreground. That image is credited with starting many people to think about protecting the environment.
