    "Afghan Girl" has the most enchantning eyes I've ever seen. Truly a fantastic photograph.

    Two of them are video/film frames, oddly enough.

    I suggest anyone looking at this to stop at the year 2000. Its really sad that all the great photos of the past century compared to the crap of the past 7 years.

    These are tiny, poorly reproduced images. It's like watching "Spartacus" on your iPod. Awful.

    A good list of images...though I have to scratch my head at the LOLCat image. Has it really been that influential? After all it did spawn from the depth of Hell that is 4Chan. *Brrr*

    1. I never relealized that "Grace" was a photo and not a painting!
    2. "Afghan Girl" is indeed a stunning image. What is really scary, though, is how aged that pretty girl looks now. Google around for a modern pic of her ... she was only about 30 when rephotograped in 2002, but looks about 20 years older. I'm not sure if it is just a hard peasant life in the sun or a little too much "sampling of the local Afghan product". You decide.
