Magnum Photos - Robert Capa

Robert Capa is one of my favourite Magnum Photographers.
Capa was a Hungarian combat photographer who covered five different wars : the Spanish Civil War, the Second Sino-Japanese War, World War II, the 1984 Arab-Israeil War, and the First Indochina War. As well, He was one of the five founders of Magnum Photos.

Normandy. Omaha Beach. The first wave of American troops lands at dawn. June 6th, 1944.

Ardennes. Battle of the Bulge. Near Bastogne. December 23th-26th, 1944. An American soldier capturing a German soldier.

The spanish Civil War.

I like the first photograph. 
Even though the soldier in front and the background are totally blurred, this photograph works very well because of the timing. Moreover, this picture shows a great sense of place.
