The other project I have this semester is my Honors thesis, regarding the conflict of loyalties in crisis photography. Maybe I'll start posting about that, too.
In the meantime, the New York Times has a good feature about war photographer Robert Capa, who did for photojournalism what Hemingway did for writing.
There's no point in me getting too giddy about this, at least here, but the article is about several cases of long-lost negatives from the Spanish Civil War – which is, as some of my friends know, my second-favorite civil war. The cases were found, and the negatives they've examined so far include images of Hemingway and Federico Garcia Lorca, along with photos taken by Gerda Taro and Chim Seymour.
The associated slide show is a nice way of getting the main points of the article.
