Happy 100th Birthday Robert Capa
Robert Capa turns 100 today! The International Center of Photography and Magnum Photos (co-founded by Capa himself) have teamed up to put together a 100 day exhibit featuring his works. Each day the exhibit presents a new Capa work, along with another photograph that ‘visually responds’ to the Capa photograph. The audience is invited to 'get closer’ and to respond by posting their own photos via Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Capa is one of the most noted war photographers in history, having covered five major wars: the Spanish Civil War, the Second Sino-Japanese War, World War II, the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, and the First Indochina War.
See Magnum Photos for exhibit updates and be sure to tag #getcloser when posting your own photos.
