This Day in History: 1913-10-22

Robert Capa, one of the great combat photographers, is born on this day in 1913 as Endre Friedmann.  He changed his name to Capa in the 1930s when he worked in Paris with Gerda Taro, and opened a photo company that later became the Magnum Photos cooperative.  His work included the “Death of a Loyalist Soldier” and the first photos back from the Normandy landings in June 1944.  He died in 1954 covering the emerging conflict in Vietnam.
