uncropped

What if many of iconic photos featured on famous album covers were actually cropped from much stranger images? That's the idea behind "The Bigger Picture," a humorous set of manipulated photographs imagining the "original context" of album cover photos.

Here are some uncropped (or "unzoomed") versions of iconic photographs that show more context than their famous cropped counterparts. It's interesting to see what photographers and photo editors chose to keep and what they chose to throw away. The image above is an alternate view of Tank Man.
