Robert Capa's 100th Birthday

For those who may be interested, today is the 100th anniversary of Robert Capa's birthday.

One of the many photographers whose work I really enjoy.

Happy Birthday! Robert Capa -- thanks for all the great images from the Spanish Civil War through WWII and Indochina. Thank you sir -

One of my favorite photographers. Obviously, Leica Ginza used the opportunity to show a Robert Capa 100 year birthday exhibition with Dr. Kaufmann attending the opening party.

Somewhat amusing. He probably used a Contax more than a Leica but it was still a rangefinder. Regardless, his work was amazing.

Ummm, Mr Capa has been dead for more than fifty years. It seems a little bit odd to be talking about his birthday.

Not that I have anything against him. I own the large book that provides a retrospective of his work and he certainly got to the action and brought back the pictures.
