Within one year of that photograph being published, the environmental movement was bigger than the anti-war movement on American college campuses. My own list would include these in the top eight: Anders, William - Earthrise Adams, Ansel- Monolith (the half dome moonrise w/ dk red filter) Addams, Eddie - Execution of a Vietcong Prisoner (Police chief Nguyen Ngoc Loan in Saigon) Nillson, Lennart - How Life Begins (1965 Life cover shot of fetus) Lange, Dorothea - Migrant Mother (Florence Owens Thompson) Louw, Joseph - The Assasination of Dr. Martin Luther King (Lorraine motel balcony witnesses pointing) Rosenthal, Joe - Marines on Mt. Suribachi (Iwo flag raising) Ut, Nick - Vietnamese Girl Fleeing in Terror (Kim Phuc running from napalm srike in village) Franklin, Thomas - Firefighters raising flag over WTC. There are also some collective groups of images such as Matthew Brady's U.S. Civil War photographs, Ashley Gilbertson's Iraq War photos for the NY Times, U.S. War Department photos of the liberation of the Buchewald concentration camp in WWII, and the environmental photography of Galen Rowell that are compelling collections as a whole, which are extremely compelling even though there is no one iconic image that stands out.

His body of work during his time at the Farm Security Administration inspires me.
