Heroes: Robert Capa

One of the great things about writing a blog is that I can impose my tastes on an unsuspecting nation!  Here's the first in a series of posts about my favourite photographers.

Robert Capa lived and died for his art.  He was a Hungarian combat photographer who covered five different wars.  None of the airbrushed falsehoods for Capa; he consistently portrayed the violence of war with unique impact.  If you're as impressed as I was you may well enjoy this excellent book.
