I came across an article today, 'The 100 most memorable photographs'. It wasn't an actual list of the pictures themselves so I didn't get to see them, but it got me wondering. What are the most memorable photographs ever made? This picture would surely have to be one of them:

Any others?

This one popped into my head while brushing my teeth last night:

Seyid Onbasi (Corporal Seyit)
Every Gallipoli visitor knows him : the legendary Seyid, who stands like a rock, with his big shell in his arms, looking out over the Dardanelles, at the very spot where the Allied attack of 18th March was stopped. Seyid must be for the Turks what Simpson and his donkey are for the Australians : an immortal symbol of the simple soldier who fought in the Gallipoli campaign and during that conflict was able to surpass himself.There is a 1915 photo of this popular hero, and that one has its own particular history.

During the naval attack of 18th March, Seyid was posted as a simple private in Rumeli Mecidiye Tabyasi, a fortification on the European side of the Dardanelles, not so far from Kilidbair. Apart from some smaller artillery, his battery also possessed six heavy calibre guns, handled by "Havranli Koca Seyid" (Big Seyid from Havran, his birthplace) and his colleagues.

By noon of 18th March, nearly all the big guns had been knocked out by fire from the Allied warships. Seyid's gun was still able to fire, but the mechanism to feed the big shells into the gun had been destroyed. In a supreme effort, he ran to the remaining ammunition, took one of the monstruously big shells in his arms and brought it single-handed to the gun.

History has it that the projectile weighed "215 okka" (must have been something like our kilos) and another element to let the legend take shape was that it might well have been this precise shell that hit HMS Ocean.

When the Allied attack was not resumed the following days, the news about Seyid's performance spread throughout the army. It is only normal that his superiors decided that a hero of his kind might as well be used for propaganda reasons, something the Australians would also do, later in the campaign, with men like the legendary Jacka. This attitude had two consequences for Seyid : first of all Cevad Pasha, who commanded the Turkish artillery in the Straits, promoted him to "onbashi" (corporal) and about a week after the events, a number of photographers appeared to take his official picture for publication in the press.

And what would be more fitting than a striking pose with the big shell in his arms and the gun in the background? To the dismay of the onlookers however, it soon became clear that Seyid was not able to lift such a weight a second time. His own explanation was simple : 'It's not possible under these conditions. Better come back when the English attack again'.

This did not solve the photographers' problem : they really needed their picture. Different new attempts were made then, first with an empty shell, then with smaller ones, but all of them proved equally unsuccessful.

Eventually, they succeeded anyway, with a wooden replica of a shell, which Seyid was able to hold behind his back until the picture was taken. The photo was published in the national press, and Seyid for a short time became a hero.

After the war, he returned to Havran, where he resumed his work as a lumberjack. He died in 1939 in complete anonymity and was buried at the local cemetery.

Only in 1992, when a sudden increase of the interest in the Gallipoli Campaign set in in Turkey, was his memory revived by the erection of his statue : now he is again the powerful figure, clasping the big shell in his arms. Not the insecure looking man, in his awkward pose with the shell behind his back, forced to play a part in the propaganda machine.

^ Yeah its great pic.
However the Cathedral wasnt completely unscathed - it received a direct hit - the High Altar was destroyed and the Crypt suffered minor damage.Also on September 12 1940 a time-delayed bomb struck the cathedral but it was successfully defused and removed by a Bomb Disposal detachment of Royal Engineers.Had this bomb detonated it would have totally destroyed the Cathedral.

Interesting read.

Shot on VJ Day in Times Square on August 15, 1945, by Alfred Eisenstaedt. "I saw a sailor running along the street grabbing any and every girl in sight." he explained. "Whether she was a grandmother, stout, thin, old, didn't make any difference. I was running ahead of him with my Leica looking back over my shoulder...Then suddenly, in a flash, I saw something white being grabbed. I turned around and clicked the moment the sailor kissed the nurse."

^^ Wow ...thanks for that mdiederi.Amazing story that makes the photo even more interesting.

An experimental – and controversial – procedure for treating a crippling birth defect in the womb offered Trish and Mike Switzer the only chance that their daughter would walk like other children. But the fetal surgery posed a fatal dilemma: Their baby could die before she was born.

Omayra Sánchez was one of the 25,000 victims of the Nevado del Ruiz (Colombia) volcano which erupted on November 14, 1985. The 13-year old had been trapped in water and concrete for 3 days. The picture was taken shortly before she died and it caused controversy due to the photographer’s work and the Colombian government’s inaction in the midst of the tragedy, when it was published worldwide after the young girl’s death.

It is one of the world's most famous photographs.

Picture was taken April 18, 1906. It is the most famous photo of the destruction of San Francisco by earthquake and fire on April 18, 1906. After his camera was damaged during the earthquake, Arnold Genthe borrowed a hand-held camera from George Kahn, his dealer, and started taking pictures of the disaster. The most memorable is this one, showing enormous clouds of smoke ominously approach, buildings’ facades collapsed from the quake, and residents standing and sitting in the street…
