"If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough."
("This is the last picture taken by Robert Capa with his Nikon camera before he stepped on a landmine and died at 14.55.") [LINK]
In furtherance of my nonprofit educational purpose for linking to this photograph (a purpose that pervades every use of or link to copyrighted material in this blog), I note that without the context of it being Capa's last (in color anyway), the image is not especially distinguished. Capa is, ironically, not close enough to the subjects, and photographing them from behind offers little drama. Also, the horizon is tilted.
