Epic fail!

They are all such wonderful work, but whenever anyone asks me for a shot that makes me think, makes me shudder, I go to shot number 1, the soldier being killed in the Spanish Civil War, I know that it troubled Robert Capa greatly after he took it. I was fotunate enough to see a print of this shot at the Hungarian Photogrpaher exhibition at the Royal Academy in London last year. It took my breath away.

God they are all such great shots! I especially love the Lindy Hop, VJDay, James Dean, and MLK. LIFE never failed to capture great moments in history.
