john_boyle3 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 There will be a tv program entitled "Robert Capa: In Love and War" at 10 PM on Thursday 10 June on TVO (TV Ontario). This should be available to viewers in Ontario, northern New York and eastern Michigan. It may be on satellite, not sure about PBS. There is a wartime (WW II) photo of him in today's Ottawa Citizen with a Rolleiflex in leather case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake_tauber Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 This show aired on PBS in US in the spring of 2003. I'm not sure if it's going to be repeated. Well worth watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham_line Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Oregon Public Broadcasting aired this within the past week. Apparently it's now available to individual stations. Worth watching if you haven't seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhooru Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I think it was just on here in So.Cal. last week in relation to the 60th year memorial of D-Day and also Veterns day in the US. It did discuss that a technician overcooked the negs, completely ruining all but 11 photographs. It didn't discuss the alleged fact that the newspaper initially covered up the gaffe and blamed it on Capa's "excitement" at the time of the invasion. I found it interseting and was glad to see it, but I thought they called Robert Capa the Greatest War photographer or something like that. Could there be two out?

david_bedell Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 "Capa, made a pile of money on 'D' day. Dog arse photos." There really is no excuse for that much camera shake, is there? What was he nervous about? It's not like he was in the first wave into Omaha beach, for crying out loud! Or perhaps the photos are "terrible" because he used the Contax and not the Leica? Anyways, it was an enjoyable documentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graham_line Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 According to the documentary and other accounts, Capa was in the first wave. What appears to be blurring is damage to the emulsion caused by over-aggressive drying by a technician. There are a couple of recent Capa biographies and information in the Magnum books.

jose f. Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Kind of figured as much. But the quality of discourse on photo.net has dipped so low that one is never quite sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Herbert Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 over-aggressive drying by a technician I thought he dropped his films in the sea.Being a famous sort of guy they used them anyway. Jon,and AZ have both found a little friend in each other. Sort of sweet really. Hope it works out for them. Can i hear sound of distant bells. Will there be invites?
