Jonathan Klein: Photos that changed the world

The TED talks I chose is 'Photos that changed the world':

Jonathan Klein shows several photos that have provoked reactions in people who have been watching them. We can see iconic images such as the World Trade Center in flames or atomic bomb explosion and some others less violent such as the Earth from above. He exposes that these images compel us to encounter reality and to act. But he also says that some critics believe theses photos fuel resentment. So pictures may have different impacts depending on the public.

As a photograph myself, I understand this issue of delivering a message through photos and how we can testify and force people to react.
That is why I chose this talk, I wish you will be interested too.
