Che Guevara
This single photograph of argentinian born cuban revolutionary Che Guevara stands out as one of the most powerful photographs of the last century.
The emotions that this man continues to evoke even today
among ordinary people are so strong that I find it hard to
believe he has been dead for decades.

Alberto Korda was the photographer who took the picture of Che
Guevara that became an icon of left-wing revolutionaries
and students worldwide.
Korda took the photo for which he will be best remembered at
a memorial service in March 1960.
Che Guevara stepped onto the podium and scanned the crowd.
Korda snapped two quick shots, including the legendary
one of the revolutionary with his beret, gazing like a
prophet into the distance.
