Photos are magical things. They can capture anger, happiness, even complex geopolitics in a nanosecond, freezing it in time . . . forever. What makes an image iconic, then? A few years back I met Stuart Franklin, the Magnum photographer who has taken some of the most iconic photos in history. Did he know he was documenting history in China in 1989? No. “We didn’t have TV in Beijing, so we didn’t know how big that image had gone,” he told me. Fast-forward three decades and with every moment now captured by millions of phones, choosing snaps that are likely to stand the test of time is a bit more complex. Here are our picks. You might have seen some of them and missed others. But if we’re right, these images will be talked about in the decades to come. Check out today’s Weekender for a trip down tomorrow’s memory lane. What other images from the past two years do you think will serve as iconic reminders of our times? Tell us at: OzyCommunity@Ozy.com Based on reporting
