Picture from an Einsatzgruppen soldier’s personal album, labelled on the back as “Last Jew of Vinnitsa,” it shows a member of Einsatzgruppe D is just about to shoot a Jewish man kneeling before a filled mass grave in Vinnitsa, Ukraine, in 1941. All 28,000 Jews from Vinnitsa and its surrounding areas were massacred at the time. (via Photos that Changed the World)

Ok, parlando di “foto che hanno cambiato il mondo,” questa non potevo non metterla e sono pronto a sorbirmi ogni genere di commento in merito al fatto che sarebbe banale, o io un “sinistronzo.” (Circostanza che non nego affatto!) Non solo credo che sia forse la foto più riprodotta in assoluto, ma è aneddoticamente interessante rilevare come in contrasto con tale circostanza, essa fu inizialmente rifiutata dal giornale a cui Korda la portò, e divenne universalmente famosa solo con la pubblicazione da parte di Giangiacomo Feltrinelli come poster e come copertina del Diario in Bolivia.
Known as the World’s First Photograph but actually this is the earliest surviving photograph, c. 1826. It required an eight-hour exposure, which resulted in sunlight on both sides of the buildings. It represents the view of the courtyard of Niépce’s house at Gras, France, taken from the window of his workroom. On the left side of the image is the pigeon-house […] to the right of it is a pear-tree with a patch of sky showing through an opening in the branches. In the center of the image is the slanting roof of the barn; the long building behind it is the bake house, with chimney. On the right side of the image is another wing of the house.
