In some ways, it was the arrival of the Islamist government in Tehran in 1979. And the picture that best summed up the nightmare of religious totalitarianism won the Pulitzer Prize. The Wall Street Journal finally tracked down the photographer, who remained anonymous at the time. His name is Jahangir Razmi. Here's a fascinating story of how the man responsible came to be discovered. He's still around. And unafraid. And has more photographs that the WSJ has unearthed.
