Photos that Changed the World
I ran across this site called http://photosthatchangedtheworld.com/ . There are many famous photos that had an impact on peoples perception of the world, if they changed the world is a whole other debate. Worth looking through though. Caution: Contents May Be Graphic.
“I take photographs with love, so I try to make them art objects. But I make them for myself first and foremost - that is important.” Jacques-Henri Lartigue

Some powerful stuff that makes you ask questions.

Powerful photos!
However, they seem to fall into two categories:
1. Photos that truly changed the world, in as much as the photos themselves helped to bring about change:
2. Photos that simply documented or recorded change.
It would be interesting to get people's opinions on this interpretation.
