This is interesting isn’t it? Yes they are all famous photographs, and I’d agree that some were hugely important. But this is basically photojournalism with a bit of fashion thrown in. It is a particular view of the world, a gender-biased view, and one focused primarily on war and misery. There is another type of photograph which makes us think about what it is like to be alive, which makes us see in a new way, and which I would argue is equally influential, at least to me. William Eggleston, Andre Kertesz, Sally Mann, Nan Goldin, Diane Arbus, Julia Margaret Cameron, Need I go on?
