Great pics everyone.
That photo of the grief-stricken woman after the Japanese tsunami sticks in my brain. Photograph by Kazuhiro Nogi

Look at the guns on that guy! The B&W version has a slimming effect on my midsection.

Iconic
Icon---an image that represents something much greater and more important than itself. Also that is so well known that anyone familiar with the time/place will recognize what is being represented instantly.
graniteclimber already put up the pic I had in mind. The Dorothea Lange photo of the Depression Era migrant worker holding her baby. That picture represents not only the Depression but the struggle of desperate mothers anywhere at any time.
I put it up again

Hendrix is a rad one. Coloradohigh is an obvious 'whithey-hater', commie. But whatever. Good Grief dude! Get a grip. Those pics were all iconic. Whether you like the individuals in the pic or not. Just as almost any pic of Hitler saluting. These pictures are universally recognized, not as pictures in themselves but for what they represent.
So am I a Nazi loving skinhead or a Norwegian mass murderer?

Four great ones. But I don't get the one in the middle!

two classics. They both make me laugh one way or another.
Tami....point well made.
