Robert Capa 1954

his last frame of Kodachrome, he stepped on a mine which was buried just to the right of the two soldiers at left about 20 seconds later

his famous quote, of course...

If your pictures are not good enough, you are not close enough.

2. I didn't know that

This was his last? And the irony of the quote.
