May 24, 2008--Photographer Cornell Capa died on Friday, but his legacy lives on in the museum he founded -- the International Center of Photography in New York City -- and in the images he'd taken during a quarter-century with Life magazine.
Capa covered everything from a coup d'etat in Argentina to the Six-Day War in the Middle East, from political portraits of Adlai Stevenson to celebrity shots of Marilyn Monroe.
In an interview in 1994, National Public Radio's Jacki Lyden asked if he was ever haunted by what he'd seen through his lens. 'I remember every picture that I have ever taken,' he said. 'It is a terrible load to carry.'"

RIP Cornell Capa
From my earliest thoughts of being a photographer, I have been inspired by this giant man. You will be missed Mr. Capa, God knows you will be missed.
