Liston photo in 1965; Jeff Widener, the man responsible for the iconic Tiananmen Square Tank Man photo; and Jim Marshall, who took the image of Johnny Cash that has been plastered on a wealth of graphic T-shirts since. Take a look at some of the participants above and buy the book online from here.
