Robert Capa Negatives Found

Not sure if this is the right forum, but since these negatives had quite a journey themselves and document Capa's journey during the Spnaish Civil War, hopefully it is appropriate. From the CNN article:

The "Mexican suitcase" contains negatives of two pre-eminent wartime photographers besides Robert Capa, Gerda Taro and David Seymour.
Taro, one of the first female war photojournalists, "was an extremely accomplished photojournalist in her own right and very successful in her own time" Wallis said. Taro was killed in the battle in the summer of 1937, "and it is a tragedy that she died so young. She was only 26 years old."

I couldn't find anything on the ICP website. And if you have never been to ICP, make sure you do when in NYC.

I like your way of thinking, but not quite!

No biggie, just moving this to the Big Picture. That's so cool!

Robert Capa lost negatives -- FOUND!
There was also an excellent story on the recovery of the Capa negatives in the NY Times and an extensive slide show here.
