Robert Capa

A photographer i found was Robert Capa who took photos of things that would normally not be seen, like the second world war, or the Spanish civil war

(Wiki Source)
Capa's first published photograph was of Leon Trotsky making a speech in Copenhagen on "The Meaning of the Russian Revolution" in 1932.
At the start of World War II, Capa was in New York City. He had moved there from Paris to look for new work and to escape Nazi persecution.
The war took Capa to various parts of the European Theatre on photography assignments. 
He was original hired by Collier's Weekly to take photographs, he was then fired and was hired by another called Life
He was the only "enemy alien" photographer for the Allies. On October 7, 1943, 


Robert Capa was in Naples with Life reporter Will Lang Jr. and photographed theNaples post office bombing.

Some of the images I found extremely unique exciting and enjoyed looking at where.

I find these images have more than just the picture, and also give a slight feel of what it might of been like  when you where their. the blur on the second image makes it look like everything was moving fast.
