January 9, 2007: Photographs can charm, entertain, educate and enlighten. But can they change the world?

According to Ransom Riggs, these have.

This is a really interesting look at some of the most influential photographs of all time. I don’t think they’re all truly world-altering, although many have changed how we see and take pictures.  However, they are all great photos and Ransom’s commentary really brings them to life with illuminating historical perspectives and interesting backstories.

I found this article while reading the always-interesting The Online Photographer.
