The list isn't the 13 most important photographs that changed the world. Simply thirteen that did. You people will bitch and moan about anything.
Also, there seems to be a misunderstanding about what it means when someone talks about a photo changing the world. Take the Nagasaki picture for example. The dropping of the bomb changed the world. The photo would have wowed people. But it was the dropping of the bomb that clearly made the impact. To me, a photo that changes the world is when something seemingly insignificant is captured and provokes such a response in the viewer that change comes about from that photo.
Look at the photo of the Viet Cong guy being shot in the head. If that photo had never been taken, would anybody have cared? Would that guys death have even been recorded? It certainly wouldn't have soured Americans' attitudes towards the war in Vietnam had that photo not been taken. Photographed or not, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed.
