sitemistic said:It's a historical record. It works as that. But I'm sure even Capa wished that it had been sharp.
Capa's photos we're never very sharp. And this developing error is surely a blown out of proportion excuse. In my 15 years of developing I've never been able to do this to a film, and I've tried. I tried the freezing-then-into-the-oven thing and still didn't get a satisfying reticulation. And bresides, it looks more like camera movement then anything else.
Anyhow, to get back on topic: maybe you don't like them except for their historic nature, but the general feeling and tremendous impact they yield pushed Steven Spielberg to base the entire Private Ryan intro on Capa's pictures-the blurry ones. I'm not sure what you and your editors have to say on this.
Sitemistic, the thing with you is you put a lot of emphasis on your PJ experience but we've never seen a single picture from you. And by the way, I'm not sure how the PJ title gives anyone extra credibility. I have my fair share of work published and my fair share of prizes and recognitions. I never really thought I had to underline these facts or create a website around it so I would be taken seriously.
You surely have your own taste but that's only that- your own taste.
