worth a thousand words

when i was in the city, yesterday, i had managed to get stranded on the local trains network (or line, considering there is not much of a network). although, the lack of punctuality and baseline services is not surprising, what is, is the fact that i had managed to sit myself beside a foreign journalist / photographer. checking one of those fancy slr cameras (something i am totally in the dark about), i notice he is trying quite unsuccessfully to do two things at once, and thus offer an assistance. obviously, this strikes up a conversation, and i am happy to indulge in one discourse that i can not find outside the academia i hold so dearly, and definitely not in the companionship of many.

indeed, i am no expert on the issues he is enthusiastically diving into, but with some ground compromise, we end up talking about 'pictures that changed the world'. which is what i chose to blog about today, seeing as it is thoroughly interesting, and that it allows me to post pretty pictures and forgo any typing. let's see how many pictures are familiar to the reader:
