Photographs That Changed the World

There is an article by Ransom Riggs in the most recent issue of Mental Floss Magazine, called 13 Photographs That Changed the World. Some of them are iconic… others maybe not so world changing. Einstein sticking out his tongue? Che's body on display in Bolivia? Not so sure.
There are a few missing, I suspect. No photo of the flag raising on Mount Surabachi. No photograph of the earth taken from the moon (well maybe that is not technically a photograph). No photo of Jack Ruby killing Lee Harvey Oswald.
It is, though, a good start.
