The photos are: Napalm Girl, Tank Man, Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima, Starvation in Sudan, and The Execution of Nguyễn Văn Lém.

Ah the relentless downward slide of the internet continues.

I like how a very real project with an idea behind it and a concrete theme becomes, on the internet, reduced to "LOL SEE IF YOU CAN RECOGNISE THE PHOTOGRAFS WITHOUT THE DEAD PEOPL LOL"

Here's the full set and write up on the New York Times if anyone is actually interested in it.

reminds me of that series of photos of porn someone got their hands on and photoshopped out the 'actors', so you ended up with a series of shots of oddly lit, tawdy hotel rooms.

I didn't get "Starvation in Sudan". Shows how much the original images "stuck" in my sub conscious mind - if I was asked to describe the other shots I would not have been able to tell you what was in the back ground ?

I can't believe this thread has a [FUN] tag. :pac:

I recognised them all, sadly.
