The most important photographs ever taken?

Recommended Posts

I first saw this Pulitzer Prize photo in Life magazine many years ago. It's entitled The Soiling Of Old Glory for obvious reasons. The guy with the flag was demonstrating against desegregation in the Boston public schools, and the black guy happened to be walking back to his law office from lunch...it was just a few months after he returned from serving his country in Vietnam. It's not the prettiest picture ever taken, but I think it should be hanging in every classroom in America.

Any others?

This thread just went from serious and significant to ridiculous and scary.



Agreed. Okay, how about the Flag Raising on Iwo Jima, Buzz Aldrin on the Moon, and The Beatles cowering in a boxing ring in front of a young Cassius Clay ? And, uh, oh yeah, the 1930's photo of a weathered looking Okie mom with her kids.

Hmm it would appear the only imprtant photos come from the states:ph34r::ph34r::ph34r::ph34r::ph34r::ph34r::ph34r::ph34r::ph34r::P
The Okie with her kids is a pic by Dorothea Lange, and it's staged:)
