Life magazine chimes in:

100 Photographs that Changed the World

I'm looking through the photographs with interest, but am starting to notice that these are the Life magazine publication versions that I understand are 'shopped (airbrushed).
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

One of XPs own:

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.

It makes for better photographs this way. No other tourists in all you shots like before.

Here's one for any baseball fans...

Wow--Just "discovered" this week:
 

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.

How come there's no color?

And so ends my glimmer of hope for humanity. :headshake

:rolleyes:

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.
