News: Robert Capa’s Lost Negatives Have Been Found

by Gary Rogers

Robert Capa’s Lost Negatives

In 1954, Robert Capa died still believing that the negatives he left behind in his Paris studio when he fled the Nazi invasion had been lost forever.

The New York Times has published the story of how Capa’s negatives resurfaced and the implications of the discovery. One of the most intriguing elements of the story is the question of whether Capa’s arguably most famous photograph (Death of a Loyalist Soldier) was actually “faked” and the hope that these negatives may answer this once and for all.

It is a fascinating story.

EOS Discovery Tour 2007

by Charlie

EOS Discovery 2007

The EOS Discovery Tour is a series of free seminars for European photographers. At the event you’ll get to meet other photographers, get advice from professionals and, best of all, try out Canon’s latest EOS kit.

The London event will be hosted by award winning London-based photographer Drew Gardner. Drew has travelled the world photographing fashion, group portraiture, celebrities and beautiful people on location. He teaches at a high profile photographic workshop every summer in Main, USA and has been published and exhibited all over the world.

The seminar is being held at the QEII Conference Centre in London and by all accounts should be a very interesting few hours.

Judging by the success of last year’s seminars if you’d like to go you’ll need to register for your ticket pretty sharpish.

You can find out more at the EOS Discovery website.
