The 'Mexican suitcase' full of negatives turns up, after decades

This slide show at the New York Times shows the immediacy of Capa’s work, and explains why this is a huge find in the world of photography. I’ve always been drawn to photojournalism and street photography, less to the more obviously contrived fashion and fine art. Capa’s work is important, and not among my favorites, but deserves its high esteem. It will be interesting to see if the negatives resolve the questions about The Falling Soldier.
