A Remarkably Great Photographer

From the NYT, the lead of the article about the death of a truly great photographer, Cornell Capa:

Cornell Capa, who founded the International Center of Photography in New York after a long and distinguished career as a photojournalist, first on the staff of Life magazine and then as a member of Magnum Photos, died Friday at his home in Manhattan. He was 90.

This is one of his pictures, JFK's hands at a campaign stop in 1960. For a slide show of 9 more of Capa's pictures, follow this link to the NYT.
