For those too young to remember Malcolm, he was the photographer who captured the self immolation of the monk Thich Quang Duc in Saigon in 1964. This photograph set in motion the US involvement in the Vietnamese war.

Died at the age of 81 from Parkinson’s.

being young is not an excuse :wink: . This image featured on the Rage Against the Machine album in the early 90s and for me anyway, certainly brought about awareness of the issues and later on the photographer.

RIP Malcolm Browne.
