In a recent issue of the LA Times there is a story by and about one of their photographers, Louis Sinco, who took what is an "Iconic" image of the Iraq war and the follow-up on how the pohoto changed two lioves.

The link is to the first part and there is a second embedded in the first.

Really great stuff.

What would the story have been of Capa's photo of the soldier getting shot. The photographer who took the photo of the burned Vietnamese girl did meet her later. Remember the follow up to the Afghan Girl image?

These are wonderful stories of the real power of a single photo.

Cheers
