It is simply "13 photos that changed the world" which they undeniably are. Yes, every one of these pictures changed the world, as did many many powerful pictures some included here. If this were a top ten list, it would say so in the title. Quit living your life pointing out everyones faults and, simply enjoy or be moved by these pictures and the stories that surround them.

I too found it US-centric, as some have pointed out, but still very thought-provoking. My Vietnam pick would have been My Lai, though (to those who suggested Nick Ut's photo of the little napalmed girl: it's a stunning photo, of course, but it came some years after the above pic and the My Lai photos had already turned the tide of public opinion in America). Like many others, I would have included earthrise, and the Tiananmen guy. And Abu Ghraib. Thanks, great list! I too found it US-centric, as some have pointed out, but still very thought-provoking.

His famous "God does not play dice" remark was due to his unease with the quantum entanglement effect.

Read the accounts by the photographer and others. The AP is extremely strict (correctly) about their images not being staged. My photojournalism teacher had an original signed copy from the photographer, and his friend and mentor, Joe Rosenthal. He knows it was real. If the detractors of that photo would even bother to do a modicum of research, they'd know better. As they say in journalism 101 - "Your mother says she lives you? Check it out!" Now, as for the so-called American orientation to the photos, I guess the critics don't know Capa was Hungarian. And Eisenstadt was German. Not to mention many others. That being said, the US had a disproportionate affect on the world of photography early on. But the rest of the world has caught up. That is why so many famous photos come from Western photographers. And even when they were for American publications, it was largely Europeans who brought the tradition to the US at the right time for LIFE and other magazines to take advantage of technology to give American photographers a leg up. Jingoism has no place in this discussion, because it's too simplistic, too narrow, to really make a meaningful contribution to the subject. So let it rest, please.
