Terrific piece in tomorrow's New York Times on the discovery of missing Robert Capa negatives in Mexico. ICP now going through them and they hope to solve the decades-long debate over whether he staged the most famous war photo of all-time (see image above) or even if it might have actually been taken by his lover Taro. It amazes me that Hollywood hasn't done a bio-pic of that pair yet. I posted a couple of weeks ago about attending the Capa/Taro show at ICP in New York recently. I have to say, I was surprised to see a Capa photo of another guy getting shot in the same exact location, which raised some suspicions on my part. Here is link to the Times piece:http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/27/arts/design/27kenn.html?ref=arts
