Joe Rosenthal
"Raising the American flag at Iwo Jima" (1911)
V.J. Day, 1945
Alfred Eisenstaedt
These are two infamous pictures that any American should not forget. It seems that some of the great photo-journalist photographs that end up famous are one of some kind of military member for force acting as a honorable citizen. Photos like these help Americans remember what it mean to be American and to show their American pride. As art these photos have great composition and great tonal range. They are using the rule of thirds, which is always a great rule to use to produce a great and interesting photo of almost anything, no matter the subject or subject matter. These two pictures will always be famous and will always have it place in history, not just photographic history.
