Ah yes, of course I know Eddie Adams then.

I'd say Moonrise is certainly the most famous, but in my mind, the El
Capitan one is stronger :-)

So what's the point of this exercise? Captions vs. photos, or just "strong
photos stand on their own?"

Because if latter, I submit that this list of photogs have some pretty damn
strong photos that stick in your mind for ages:

Salgado
Nick Brandt
Helen Levitt
Eugene Smith
Larry Burrow
Jim Marshall
Eliott Erwitt

Beejisus, no wonder I wanna be a wanna-be documentary photographer :-) If I
am 30 years younger :-)
