Presentation Transcript

  1. Top 10 Photographs that Changed the World It is almost impossible to whittle down the world’s most iconic images to just ten, and there are hundreds that could have made the cut, however we give you a handful of the most memorable photographs the planet has seen. Some have influenced fashion, some have made science meaningful and some have even started wars…some have ended wars

  2. Literary Discussion Watch the presentation and formulate your response to the presented question.

  3. This photo by Nick Ut shows Phan Thị Kim Phúc running along a road in Trang Bang after being burned by a South Vietnamese napalm attack is just one of the images that came to symbolise the Vietnam War and resulted in the eventual US withdrawal.

  5. Uncropped Version

  6. I imagine that many of you, good students of photojournalism, are familiar with the uncropped version of Nick Ut’s “Napalm Girl.” In Googling it, I can see it gets mentioned from time to time. Still, I’d never seen it before this week. (It’s also a curious image to discover with all the thematically disparate photos of the Syrian crisis circuiting now.) I have to think this is one of the most significant crops of all time. With the right half of the photo suddenly claiming more storytelling weight, it’s stunning how much it competes, diluting that dramatic scene burned into all of our heads. Studying the “new” cluster of figures and the body language of the soldiers at the edge and across the road, the guys look like it’s Miller time. Even more incredible, however, is the specter of the soldier attending to his camera. Given that he’s almost parallel to the burning body of Phan Thi Kim Phuc, the message is that he’s got some time right now, that there’s nothing going on right that moment that’s worth capturing, or even deserving of his notice. …Just wow. So my question is: was this photo cropped entirely for effect? for simplicity sake? or, because the nonchalance of the soldiers, in juxtaposition with the scorching of the children, would — from a compassion standpoint — have been like a second napalm hit? http://www.bagnewsnotes.com/2013/09/have-you-ever-seen-the-uncropped-version-of-the-napalm-girl/ Excerpt from: October 4, 2013 BagNews (BagNews is dedicated to visual politics, media literacy and the analysis of news image)

  7. Do you agree or disagree with the author of the article? Does the cropped version change the meaning and impact of the photograph? Site the article and the image.
