Great Photos of All Time

[CrazyEyez]

Post a photo you consider to be an all-time great. These should probably be photos that mark a noteworthy time or event in history. They probably evoke a strong emotional response.

Or it could be a picture that doesn't necessarily depict something historically relevant, but has because famous/poignant for some intangible reason. Example of the that would be the young woman with the greyish eyes from the National Geographic cover.

I think the common trait though would be that they require little to no captioning because of the significance of the moment they capture or because they've been famous for so long that we already know the story.

My two favorite of all time:





Another good one, though not on the level of the previous two, imo:

I'm suprised that you don't know the picture. How old are you, if you don't mind me asking? I'm not trying to be rude.

I don't care if you're 15 years old... this is one of the most significant pictures of the last 100 years... everyone should know what it's about

There are so many to pick from. Some immediately spring to mind:

edit: someone also linked this photo. I never really considered it nsfw, but whatevs. I'll change it to an offsite link. It's the photo entitled "Trang Bang" of children running from a napalm attack in Vietnam.

CrazyEyes,
I'm 22, and not big into politics. Any idea what happened to the guy? I browsed through wikipedia, and I get the impression he was probably run over by the tank.
