Photos that changed the world

I am a huge fan of photography, and when I came across the following clip I couldn’t resist sharing it with you!

Here, Jonathan Klein of Getty Images shows some of the most iconic photos, and talks about what happens when a generation sees an image so powerful it can’t look away – or back (Source).

The talk certainly reminded me of the photos from Mara that sent shivers down most Tanzanians’ spines a couple of weeks ago.

Also, check out “Big Picture” after every two or three days to see amazing and incredible photos from all over the world. Unfortunately, there is only a handful of photos from East Africa – mostly negative ones. So, if you are pretty good at taking photos (and have got a very good camera, of course), don’t hesitate to send your photos to Alan Taylor.
