13 Photographs that Changed the World

V-J Day, Times Square, 1945, by Alfred EisenstaedtNeatorama has a neat post on 13 photographs that changed the world, including the image above, "V-J Day, Times Square, 1945," by Alfred Eisenstaedt. What's especially neat about the post is that Neatorama gives the background story on each photograph and explains the impact it had on history.

When you visit the site, be sure you take a look at the comments readers have posted because they often include URLs to other photographs that have changed history but that aren't in this exhibit, such as the napalm girl from the Vietnam War, Capa's "Death of Loyalist Soldier," and the student in Tiananmen Square.
