Today I share with you 52 of the photographs that shaped a technology, an art form, and the world.
I really hope I can post this link here without it being deleted as spam, because these images you really have to see. Some you may have seen before, others not. From the first surviving photograph to the famous picture from Tiananmen Square.
52 Influential Photographs
Wonderful to see these, coolwhip. Horrifying, inspiring, sad, beautiful.
Thank you, there's a piece of history right there in that link.
I think this is such a good link it deserves a good ol' BUMP from its maker
Regarding "Eddie Adams - Execution of a Viet Cong Guerrilla (1968)"
The picture said to have "turned public opinion against the Vietnam war." I have however read somewere that this picture in particular was not responsible for turning the opinion. Many americans apparently saw it as only natural for an officer to execute Viet Cong. A common misconception I've been told.
