Robert Capa at 100

[Mike Farley]

Robert Capa would have been 100 today, with one of his most famous photos being "Death of a Loyalist Militiaman". The D-Day landing pictures being the others for which he is most famous and justifiably so. The former picture has long been at the centre of controversy, with many people thinking that it was set up. At the link below, there is a rare recording of Capa in which he describes how he got the shot. The explanation will surprise you.

Croydon Camera Club leads and others follow.

The full version of the long lost interview, which is well worth listening to, can be found at the ICP website. Although English was not his first language, he is remarkably articulate and recounts a number of stories about his photographic adventures.
