Fellow LUG members,

I'm sitting at home listening to Morning Edition, and they're telling now 
of a new retrospective of Robert Capa's work that is open tomorrow at the 
Philadelphia Museum of Art.  Pictures of war, but pictures of peace as 
well.  Capa's brother is involved in staging the exhibition.

NPR did mention (Leica content) that Capa used a "small 35mm rangefinder 
camera" as he went into the action for his pictures.

The exhibition will be in Philadelphia through January, then it will head 
to New York, and later, to Massachusetts.
