That was actually the first one that came to my mind from the term "iconic pictures." Another was the Marines on Iwo.

This one hit me square between the eyes. Just don't have the words.

Please tell me that the photographer took this child to the UN relief place and saved its life? This is horrible!!!!

My understanding of the event is that the child was indeed rescued.

That's my understanding as well, although there's another report that the fate of the child was forever unknown.

The photographer received the Pulitzer Prize and killed himself three months later.

Two more. One of more a more recent event.

The other was the Depression brought to vivid terms.

Some of the pictures posted here from the rock'n'roll era that we've painted or represented on the walls and bar I made in our music room:

(gotta have something to do during those cold winter months :))


Wish I could find a pic I like of the Rock Bottom Remainders that I could transform to black and white and kill two birds with one stone - rock music and SK.
