It seems several of those photographers snapped incredible (gut-wrenching) pics, only to commit suicide from depression months later.

hard to snap out of photojournalist mode even when you have someone dying in front of you...

How about a photo of a laughing black soccer player or a shot of Fidel Castro looking like he's about to kick the bucket to complement the Che Guevara pic?

Or a photo of Robert Mugabe laughing as he leaves another useless summit of African leaders who honor him too much to ask him to be humane?

Or better still, how about a photo of a hagwon owner smiling in a genuine way as he pays a bonus to his diligent foreign teacher?

Just a thought...

I just posted my best photos presentation on a site that I've been promoting in my own teaching community, voice thread.

Amazing technology and take a look if just to give you ideas of how to extend your classroom teaching.....great tool and I have several groups already discussing/using and hope in the future to get classrooms from other countries discussing here...

But leave a comment about one of the pictures, what it means to you...

Bumping up this thread. I think this one is going to be a classic:



Captured by Nina Berman who has a new photo exhibit called "Purple Hearts".

Here is the quote from the wikipedia page :

Quote:

Ty Ziegel (born in 1982) is a United States Marine Corps Sergeant who was seriously injured while serving in Iraq. During his second tour in Iraq in 2004 his group was attacked by a suicide bomber. He sustained massive injuries, but survived. After returning to the United States, he spent 18 months in Brooke Army Medical Center in Texas.

His injuries led to the loss of his left forearm and of three fingers of his right hand, and Ty was rendered blind in his right eye. He also sustained widespread severe burns that led to the loss of his ears and much of the tissue on his face. Despite the range and severity of his injuries, and after over 50 operations, Ty had recovered enough to leave the hospital.

Ty married his girlfriend Renee Kline in 2006. They live together in Illinois. Nina Berman's wedding portrait of Ty and Renee, "Wounded Marine Returns Home to Wed," won the World Press Photo competition for portraiture in 2007. The World Press Photo competition is widely regarded as the most prestigious international award for photojournalism.

Not sure if this story says more about the photographer of that shot or society as a whole

peppermint: did you read the fine print? It says "we're being informed that top photo of Paris was taken NOT by Nick Ut, but by Carl Larson of INF"

This one is pretty famous too:



Just noticed it's already included in this link, which was broken in the OP.

How about this one of Marilyn Munroe, which doesn't appear in that link:
