A handful of the most influential photos ever captured

While spending my nights jumping from one mindless website to another, I found these images and loved them. They're some of the most memorable, most tragic and impact images ever captured on film. Looking through these images invokes such emotion. I hope you all can take from them what I did. Most of the images don't need captions because whether they're part of American history or pop culture, a thousand words could be spoken about each one. If you like them, leave a comment.
