Cornell Capa - RIP
23 May 2008
Cornell Capa, brother to Robert Capa and founder of
the wonderful ICP in New York City passed away
today at the age of 90.
He covered presidential bids (Kennedy, Stevenson), Israel's 6-day war, the Peron regime in Argentina, and many other important events in world history.
If you are not familiar with his work, the NY Times has a great slideshow online (which includes one still from his ballet work).
A famous quote that resonates:
"‘There are two things I wanted to do. I wanted to show the things that needed to be corrected. And I wanted to show the things that needed to be appreciated.’ ”
On a related front, I referenced the World Press Photo awards yesterday, but you really should listen to Platon's story of his winning portrait of Putin.
Finally, a picture of my son, asleep after a hard morning of playing...

I'm off to a Soccer
tournament this weekend - its going to be a rough go
as we're up against the state champions for our first
game.
Cheers!
