Herbert West in full reanimating flow.

Is that Jeffery Combs? :)

DanaC 04-10-2007 05:40 PM
Yes! It is! My all time favourite schlock horror actor.....in my all time favourite schlock horror film:)

duck_duck 04-10-2007 05:43 PM
Re-animator! I also recognize him from star trek. :)

DanaC 04-10-2007 05:47 PM
Oh he was great in that. I especially liked Weyoun from ds9.

This is one of my favourite film images. Nowadays we've all seen it done to death in every type of spoof, from adverts to comedy shows, but this must have leapt out of the screen at people when it was first shown. The composition is beautiful.

DanaC 04-10-2007 05:54 PM
Brunt was awesome. "A contract, is a contract, is a contract" I couldn't get over the fact he and weyoun were the same actor.

He also played this character from enterprise.

Nosferatu. A 1922 silent movie. The original vampire film. Truly a masterpiece of cinema, and exquisite to watch.


I liked the enterprise character, but I didn't think they did enough with him. I'd have liked to explore the character more.

very painful photo there

I was astonished when Carter said he didn't know the outcome, whether the boy made it to the camp, because he took the picture and left.

Just saw the documentary about finding her -- the "Afghan girl"

Construction workers take a break from their work on the RCA Building at Rockefeller Center in New York to have lunch atop a steel beam 800 feet above ground. The photo was taken Sept. 29, 1932.

All the other ones that I immediately thought of have already been posted.

Kind of a shame that "Iconic" often means "Tragic".

Thanks Kitsune for my newest wallpaper. It may be hard to be humble, but this sure helps.

Tragic in this case as well I'm afraid.

Scott and his party at the Pole, having just discovered that Amundsen beat them there. For those who don't know the story, all 5 perished on their way back. From the left Wilson, Scott, Evans, Oates, Bowers.

For me, an equally iconic photo is that of Wilson, Bowers and Cherry-Garrard on their return from The Winter Journey (prior to the push for the Pole), but that depends on having read The Worst Journey in the World and I thought it might look deliberately obscure.

East German border guard Conrad Schumann jumps over the Berlin Wall during its construction and flees to the West. It was only barbed wire at this point in 1961.

FWIW, I have a copy of the R.I. Herald with this historic event on the cover.

Life magazine chimes in:

100 Photographs that Changed the World

i.e Kent State shootings (pool of blood) and inaugauration of Lyndon B. Johnson (blood stains on Jacqueline Kennedy's coat)
I am also relaizing that many are 'Photographs that Changed the USA', and while still dramatic pictures, had little social impact outside the USA.:rolleyes:
Perhaps "Photographs that Changed our World' would have been better.
Edit: also only 28 images are available :headshake

I've been there. I think they closed the sidewalk but you use to be able to walk nearly, but not up to the stones. Very cool.

glatt 02-29-2008 07:28 AM
It makes for better photographs this way. No other tourists in all you shots like before.

Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan, this pic has been in a family album for more than a century. It's a beautiful photograph in and of itself, not to mention the significance. Article here.

When asked to name people we most admire, I pick Helen Keller.

Enjoy.

classicman 03-07-2008 07:57 AM
Thats great - still amazes me that stuff like that exists as unknown. You'd think it would have been looked at or found at some point over the last 100 or so years.
