Some are truly epic pictures, other heartbreakingly sad.

Incidentally, a number of the photographs were posed (e.g. Raising Flag on Iwo Jima) or Photoshopped (e.g. dancing with the whale) Capa's picture of a solder being shot in the Spanish War was also considered posed.

Some brilliant and shocking images!! Especially the first few!

Most of those 9/11 attacks images, and Obama watching a video monitor are not even close most epic images ever. Typical American patriotism

Even though some were posed, they are still very touching. Quite a few are reminders of the worst of what we are, while some are a reminder of hope.

The Lunch a top a skyscraper is one of my favourite pictures. Have a large one at home.
