! ! Loving Life To The Death: Robert Capa

Rating: 4.8


Behind the lens, the eye of the photographer;
behind the eye, the observer;
behind the observer, the immortal soul:

Robert Capa shot
(as they say) five major wars
as mankind’s record
of man’s inhumanity to man.
Finally, was shot himself.

When asked for advice
by a young photographer, he said,
“Like people; and let them know it..”

And so he printed out his soul.

What a well developed homage. I can't think of one negative thing to say about it. (Though it could have been a little more snappy?) Danny
