THE Photograph
It’s 40 years since one of the most iconic pictures of the 20th century was taken. This is her, then and now.

Definitely The Photo  The photographer said:  AP staff photographer Huynh Cong “Nick” Ut (right) renews acquaintances Saturday in Buena Park, Calif., with Kim Phuc, now 49, and Dr. My Le, who treated her two days after a napalm attack in Vietnam 40 years ago. His 1972 photo of a 9-year-old Ms. Phuc won a Pulitzer Prize. (Associated Press) |

Re: THE Photograph
I think a lot of people who take photos like that end up with mental health problems. The guy who took that photo of the starving girl in Sudan in 93 killed himself a year after.

Re: THE Photograph
well photographers are the scum of earth usually ... some less scummy decide they did wrong by not helping rather taking pictures and kill themselves.

Re: THE Photograph
It's a tough call. In many instances, the photographer does a great deal of good by documenting what's happening -- more good than they could accomplish by putting down their camera and intervening, especially when there are others around to help.
