Two famous photos, one photographer, thirty-five years apart

Third Wave Dave made a remarkable discovery two days ago. Even if you weren't around when the top photograph was taken--on June 8, 1972--odds are you've seen it. Nick Út of Associated Press won a Pulitzer Prize for the shot.


And on June 8, 2007, Nick Út took this now famous photograph of another crying female. Although the girl above, Phan Thi Kim Phúc, had a good reason to shed tears.

Phúc survived the burn wounds she received that day and now lives in Canada.
