week 10 The greatest War Photographs

I remember how chaotic the class was when we first talked about Robert Capa’s  ” Death in Spain” .  I always ask myself the same question after viewing war photographs : ” is it that easy to watch someone die in front of you?” . Although I personally do not approve of some of the pictures, I think that they are the only way we can remember the soldiers that lost their lives in wars. I think that his pictures are authentic because I think that after the death of his girlfriend, Capa didn’t really see the importance of living anymore, so he put himself in all kind of dangerous situations. Even if some of his pictures were staged, he died while actually taking new pictures of the war.
