great thread

Caught under heavy fire, Capa dove for what little cover he could find, then shot all the film in his camera, and got out - just barely. He escaped with his life, but not much else. Of the four rolls of film Capa took of the horrific D-Day battle, all but 11 exposures were ruined by an overeager lab assistant, who melted the film in his rush to develop it. (He was trying to meet the deadline for the next issue of Life magazine.)

wow

thanks I was looking for that migrant worker photo for a mainstream project

they're missing quite a few actually.

Unbelievably, Thompson?s story is as compelling as her portrait. Just 32 years old when Lange approached her ("as if drawn by a magnet," Lange said). Thompson was a mother of seven who?d lost her husband to tuberculosis. Stranded at a migratory labor farm in Nipomo, Calif. her family sustained themselves on birds killed by her kids and vegetables taken from a nearby field - as meager a living as any earned by the other 2,500 workers there. The photo?s impact was staggering. Reproduced in newspapers everywhere, Thompson?s haunted face triggered an immediate public outcry, quickly prompting politicos from the federal Resettlement Administration to send food and supplies. Sadly, however, Thompson and her family had already moved on, receiving nary a wedge of government cheese for their high-profile misery. In fact, no one knew the identity of the photographed woman until Thompson revealed herself years later in a 1976 newspaper article.

anybody here read the grapes of wrath?

cj_purve · 01-02-2007, 09:27 PM

Amazing journey on that page ... this one stuck with me ... shows the power of a single photo & how it can make or break someone's life by how we perceive the subject.

"Still photographs are the most powerful weapon in the world," AP photojournalist Eddie Adams once wrote. A fitting quote for Adams, because his 1968 photograph of an officer shooting a handcuffed prisoner in the head at point-blank range not only earned him a Pulitzer Prize in 1969, but also went a long way toward souring Americans? attitudes about the Vietnam War.

For all the image?s political impact, though, the situation wasn?t as black-and-white as it?s rendered. What Adams? photograph doesn?t reveal is that the man being shot was the captain of a Vietcong "revenge squad" that had executed dozens of unarmed civilians earlier the same day. Regardless, it instantly became an icon of the war?s savagery and made the official pulling the trigger - General Nguyen Ngoc Loan - its iconic villain.

Sadly, the photograph?s legacy would haunt Loan for the rest of his life. Following the war, he was reviled where ever he went. After an Australian VA hospital refused to treat him, he was transferred to the United States, where he was met with a massive (though unsuccessful) campaign to deport him. He eventually settled in Virginia and opened a restaurant but was forced to close it down as soon as his past caught up with him. Vandals scrawled "we know who you are" on his walls, and business dried up.

Adams felt so bad for Loan that he apologized for having taken the photo at all, admitting, "The general killed the Vietcong; I killed the general with my camera."

chodadog · 01-03-2007, 10:35 AM

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.

I guess it depends on what the guy writing the blog defines as changing the world...this photo is considered ONE OF if not THE most recognizable photos in history. Regardless of its origin, it clearly demonstrates the power that war photography can possess (even if it was directed) and has spawned a whole new era of war photography.
