13 Photographs That Changed the World

One of the things I hear most from fellow designers is that they want to learn more about photography—here's a good place to start: Neatorama spotlights 13 photographs that changed the world. Iconic shots from Robert Capa, Dorothea Lange, Man Ray, Matthew Brady, Ansel Adams and others are featured with explanatory paragraphs about why these images made an impact. Jot down the names of these photographers, hit the library (or Wikipedia) for a little research, and you'll soon have built a nice foundation of photographic history knowhow on which to build.
