This showed up on reddit earlier and I felt it was worth sharing both for the awesome layout/design of the feature as well as some of the photos and stories that go with them.
I love Galella’s photo of Jackie O.:
Or Frare’s AIDs patient:
Or Neil Armstrong’s shot from a far-away place…
The collection is well worth a little time perusing and reading about. There are some wonderful images included!
Very interesting and impressive content inside an intelligent and well design little “container”. Here in Spain we say “las mejores esencias se guardan en frascos pequeños”. Something like that good things come in small packages, I suppose.
Thanks for sharing.
I accept that many of these are iconic and perhaps its me but I find too many of these photos intrusive. Mankind does inflict a lot of suffering.
Yes, men can be cruel. 
These are the 100 most influential images, though. And it is often conflict that uses influence (unfortunately). At least there are some happy and other neat images in the collection (Dali and Earthrise). 
I agree with you: a lot of pain in some images. But I think within a miscellanea collection like that, with real black and white bits of life, never there is too much pain in the blacks. We know the real word can be even more painful. Images like those taken from Dorothea Lang’s camera, unfortunately, are nowadays more up-to-date than ever.
Now, of what’s there I’m very partial as I have the utter most respect for Cappa’s body of work, commitment and way of being alive. Personally the above picture is 4 me a better frame of humanity itself, of its astounding capacity for destruction and self-absorbtion but also for reflecting on its own condition and be able to make something aesthetic that transmits, that pierces, the blows and widens our perception.
The above image seems to taunt death, freezing the moment ad infinitum, he’s dying as long as we gaze the photo… something puzzling, bizarre and uncomfortable to take in, but he’s dying 'cause we killed him, I mean humans, not a lion, an earthquake or a mean bug. IMO it is something everybody should reflect upon… and so maybe death would be less of a (morbid magnet) socialized tabu to become another important shareable stage of life with all the respect (media has made death its golden goose) it deserves.
The D-day picture is way more pleasing, almost like a little silent film… I almost forget that that guy is hearing angry metal insects flying around and explosions fisting the ground and making the air dense of dust, the screaming of the soldiers, screams of fear but also rushed by adrenaline and the will to stay alive. Yes there’s movement, but also a strange calmness… and then I flip out, Cappa was there, also, amidst the bullets and the commotion and the chaos, he was there with a much more powerfull weapon, a camera
@patdavid maybe you’re aware, but the whole nasa’s apollo missions are available to download in HR on flickr… which is pretty cool, some astounding images that most people has never seen =)
@chroma_ghost thanks for the link.
Another link for anyone interested in space photos is Tim Peakes photos from when he was on the International Space Station.

80+ images is available at the Library of Congress about The Making of the New York Times (propaganda)
Taken in September of 1942, this captivating collection of black and white photographs show the New York Times in production during the height of World War II.
The photographs were created as part of the U.S Office of War Information’s effort to document home front activities during the war. They were made by then 30-year-old Marjory Collins, who was part of Roy Stryker’s famous team of documentary photographers.
Collins spent a single day documenting all parts of the production process, from dispatches coming in over the wire to the composing, printing, hand-bundling and distribution of the newspaper.

Personally I don’t care so much by the known faces… Here a few pics that balance between weird, funny and very dated (yet providing info about how we saw… the poses)
Notice how the frame is “hotter” 
And we’ve arrived to century old porn
Where are the naked man?

Sadly only some of the images get loaded. Perhaps you can download the images and upload them here instead of linking.
Petapixel just released a post called The Woman Who Invented Robert Capa, where it backtraces the beginning of Endre Friedmann (later R.Capa) and his relation with Gerta Pohorylle (later Gerda Taro) which would define who R.Capa would become. They also talk about The Mexican Suitcase (mentioned above).
165 photos, especially interesting the contact sheets
feat F.G.Lorca (assassinated by fascist forces on August the 19th, 1936)
Notice some CS are signed Taro_Gerda =)
Dutch angle ala Rodchenko by David Seymour
Another “dutch”, decided in post … so now we can maybe assume they were influenced
Jajajaja Robert Capa underpoxed as hell, motherfucker!!!
More of Gerda, a great photographer she was (pity the CS are so small)
Time photo arquive, now google AI powered… I know, I know it’s all over the wire, nevertheless it’s pretty neat =)
ja ja ja jajaja that’s a good one, PSP (pure shapes’ porn) … it’s hard to believe you searched for “hard drives”… first thing I searched for was “woman” 
for perspective offfff course 
The more you scroll down, the fewer women are, maybe algo’s fooled, ja ja like the arabs… love the girl with the bread and the one painting the lamp… what aboutb Bolton, such a sexy lady uhh! Is that V Redgrave???
A lot of mediocre photos, most of them, once inA while something… ok
and we have, we really have to have Rita Hay… even without toes. I just keep thinking that for 3 years in his life Orson Welles had it all…
