40 of the most powerful photographs ever taken

Have had to pause looking at these because I’m welling up and that won’t do at work. Some really moving stuff here.

I quite liked Michael Jackson in quarantine, being visited by his dog.

there are some iconic Magnum photos missing from that.

The napalmed girl in vietnam is one.

The photos seem very USA-centric (sez the person mentioning a us photo).

I really liked the first one, of the three sisters.

Some photos have power just in the image. Some are really only moving when you combine them with a caption, a story.

Ouch!  Site bloked at work.  Yet another report for the IT guys if they're feeling gittish.  :(

Ooh, sorry Basil, didn’t think there was anything remotely NSFW in there. Will edit OP to save anyone getting in trouble just in case, though.

I don’t think they’re all amazing, but some of them really got to me.
