Can you provide some references or citations?

Several other shots of the same scene were found, suggesting that he wanted to give LIFE magazine the best one... When asked about this much later on, Capa refused to flatly say that the picture was real. It is a very good photograph nevertheless, and would have been very hard to take, technically and humanly, in real-life circumstances. Spain's Civil War is full of myths aimed at glorifying both protagonists and the losing side, and it's only now that we're getting a more objective vision of what happened.lorenzogranadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010548326279661103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282904905780175338.post-69402595151955525712015-09-18T08:10:54.307-04:002015-09-18T08:10:54.307-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00627956167651862541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282904905780175338.post-45968118159522528352015-08-12T08:51:31.706-04:002015-08-12T08:51:31.706-04:00Thank you very much for the corrections.

For your information, the picture toke by Gerda Taro where you said is Ernest Hemingway and Robert Capa with his Filmo movie camera, have a clear mistake. In the picture, the man with a movie camera was Mr. Joris Ivens, and the camera was not a B&H Filmo. It is a B&H Eyemo. Hemingway and Ivens were working in the movie 'The Spanish Earth'. Besides, Bob Capa never used a Filmo At Spanish War. He used a B&H Eyemo movie camera too, in this case borrowed by Mr. Rochemont for filming The March of The Time. Have a good day and congratulations for your blog.Czuko Williamshttp://www.czukowilliams.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282904905780175338.post-62186208423306204562015-01-04T11:04:23.064-05:002015-01-04T11:04:23.064-05:00Thanks for the feedback, Rob.Thanks for the feedback, Rob.Clive Baughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10523779808271053053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282904905780175338.post-31242201789211526782015-01-04T09:46:50.948-05:002015-01-04T09:46:50.948-05:00fascinating read clive - thank you for sharing. an...fascinating read clive - thank you for sharing. and congrats on over 100 K views of ur blog! <br />all good things, rkAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03218564790196041189noreply@blogger.com
