30. Have you ever thought about how one moment can capture something big? Imagine a single man dancing boldly in front of a line of tanks during the chaos of Tiananmen Square in 1989. Stuart Franklin from Magnum Photos took this shot, but at first, he didn’t think much of it.
He had no idea that this simple photo would become a worldwide symbol of standing up for freedom and hope. The contrast between the man’s lively dance and the intimidating tanks turned an ordinary moment into a powerful example of courage against oppression. Can one photo really represent a movement? Stuart Franklin’s picture suggests it can.
