Pictures of war, but pictures of peace as >well. Capa's brother is involved in staging the exhibition. Kim, I heard the same report as I was droping my daughter off at day care. She was asleep in her car seat so I stayed in the car to hear the full story. Quite interesting and I wish I was going to be in one of the cities to see the show. It was interesting to hear them report that because of new technology in a small 35mm camera Cappa was able to get in the middle of the action to get his famous "Death of a Loyalist" photo. They also dispelled the myth this was a staged photo and had a brief interview with his brother Cornell, said they edited some 70,000 images to pull the show togehtor. Sounds like it should be quite a show. I would be interested in hearing if anyone sees it and if it as good as it sounded on the radio. Cheers, Harrison McClary http://people.delphi.com/hmphoto
