Submit famous photo

I received comments that “the list should contain ‘this’ or ‘that’ picture”. There are famous pictures that i don’t know about (Imagine that!!!), so i ask you to tell me about them. I don’t ask for a complete story about the picture or the exact year when it was taken, anything is just fine. I can manage to find them after that.

Thanking you in advance,
wfp

Famous self immolation by an Indian Student protesting against India’s reservation policy in all education as well as government services.

In October 1990, Rajiv Goswami, a student of Delhi Univeristy (India), attempted self-immolation (and later died after a prolonged illness) protesting against the implementation of the Mandal Commission’s recommendations. His action sparked a series of self-immolations by college students and led to a formidable movement against job reservations for backward castes in India.

Hello
I discover this web and I like it very much. I take a look at your war photoes and I would like to suggest you this one. In my opinion, all photos from war show the same idea: suffering, anger and pain Everybody (except the corporations) lose wars.

Since I was a child, this image impress me much.

this photograph of salvador allende, chilean president in the ’70’s before the coup d’etat, is the last photograph before he died. it is taken during the attack on la moneda, the presidential palace, in 1973. its quite a powerful piece of art that i feel should be included in every famous historical photograph list.

This supernatural cloud appearing over Arizona U.S.A. 28 February 1963, 26 miles high and over 30 miles wide, baffled scientists. This picture appeared in Life Magazine 17 May 1963. Turn the picture sideways as below and notice the likeness of the head of Christ.

A better photograph can be obtained with a quick internet search.

While I’m at it:

* The image of Marilyn Monroe in The Seven Year Itch with her skirt billowing up.

* Image of a boy carrying his brother (IIRC) during the Soweto Riots.

* How about images by that chap who takes photos of 1000s of people nekkid on the street? Not sure how famous or noteworthy they are, but he always makes the news :)

Any who, great site!

I think the Grave pictures of the Titanic or the ‘The Unsinkable’ when it was found under water on September 1st 1985 (for examples this one en.wikipedia...)
should be put, this would be a good idea plus it was the most grossing movie of all time. (Titanic 1997)

Not exactly a photo though it is a painting.

The Unfinished Portrait is an oil painting of Franklin Delano Roosevelt that was in progress at the time of his collapse and subsequent death. Elizabeth Shoumatoff had begun working on the portrait of the president around noon on April 12, 1945. FDR was being served lunch when he stated “I have a terrific headache” and then collapsed of a massive cerebral hemorrhage. Later that day Roosevelt died. Shoumatoff never finished the portrait.

The Unfinished Portrait hangs at Roosevelt’s former health and relaxation retreat in Warm Springs, Georgia, known as the Little White House.

Shouldn’t there be a picture of “the shot” on here somewhere? Michael Jordan in 1989 and it has definately been an iconic image of the 1980s and 1990s
