literature about Capa

After reading about it here, i bought the Gerda Taro book.
I must say, i am not super impressed by it - somehow i just don't have strong feeling s when looking at the shots. I'm sure they are fine and the problem is with me, but i am slightly disappointed.
But i learned something, so it's okay i guess🙂
 
I have to say, Pherdinand, that I feel the same way about what I have seen of Taro's work. I'm looking forward to seeing the show at the Barbican in January and getting a fuller perspective, but so far I fail to see the "undiscovered genius" that others seem to find.

Cheers, P.
 
It is interesting to find out that the young darkroom assistant that melted Capa's negatives from the D Day landings was Larry Burrows! Becoming himself a figure in combat photography in Vietnam in the sixties...

This is a myth I'm afraid. See this source regarding that day in Life's London office.
