I saw his obit in the New York Times today. His passion was “concerned photography” and I really like the quote at the end of the obit:
The historian Richard Whelan wrote in the introduction to “Cornell Capa: Photographs” that Mr. Capa “often quoted the words of the photographer Lewis Hine: ‘There are two things I wanted to do. I wanted to show the things that needed to be corrected. And I wanted to show the things that needed to be appreciated.’ ” That is what Mr. Capa dedicated his life to doing.
I think that pretty much sums up the photography that attracts my attention.
