Robert Capa

It's the man himself. He's the photographer that Mr. Johnson always alluded to in photo journalism class. He's also the one with the famous quote, "If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough." Recently, The New York Times published an article about a lost suitcase that was recently found, which contained negatives from the Spanish Civil War by Capa. The Times printed an article that is three pages long, but also has a slideshow to go with it. It's an interesting piece.

This is facsinating! And what a controversial question to try to answer!

Speaking of suitcases, this is an interesting story about a live cat who stowed away in a suitcase and made it through airport checked luggage security. Makes you wonder, if a live, unsedated animal can make it through security undetected...
