A Moment in Photographic History:
Cornell Capa was born as Cornell Friedmann in Budapest on April 14, 1918. Cornell, younger brother of Robert Capa, is a photographer and photo curator. He began his work-life in the Life Magazine darkroom and worked himself into the position of staff photographer.
A Photographic Quote of Note:
Images at their passionate and truthful best are as powerful as words can ever be. If they alone cannot bring change, they can at least provide and understanding mirror of man’s actions, thereby sharpening human awareness and awakening conscience.

A great vista.
That’s some view. We’re missing out in the prairie state.
Where’s William Henry Jackson, anyway? Perhaps he hadn’t made it to the peak yet – his stereoscopic camera and tripod were awfully heavy! This certainly looks like somewhere he would have been way back in the 1870s!
I wonder where we all are, on the trek to the peak? In the valley? In the high country? I’m meandering along, taking my time, I think. Perhaps even sitting by a stream, looking at the rocks in the bottom, listening to it sing.
Stunning shot…. Cheers!
Wow, nice, I find it difficult to shoot black and white landscapes but I think this works very well. I really like the lines and the overall proportions of the image.
