I actually like a lot of his choices, and am slightly surprised not to see few in there.

Here's what really points out the power that the supposed "objectivity" of the camera can give, and how the camera really isn't objective at all:

"What Adams’ photograph doesn’t reveal is that the man being shot was the captain of a Vietcong "revenge squad" that had executed dozens of unarmed civilians earlier the same day."

If you ask anyone over 30 about this photo, at least those who are educated, they all know it. So far, none that I ask have known that the guy being shot is, in fact, a notorious murderer.

Great series of images. Most of them are iconic indeed.
