Funny thing happened today over on Instagram. Magnum, the photo cooperative, published an interesting photo of Gerda Taro<\/strong> with a short text. She was a photo journalist in the period just before the 2nd world war with a tragically short career – she was killed at the age of 26 in 1937. I had heard about her while reading up on Robert Capa some years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a pleasure to see that today, International Womens rights Day, that Gerda Taro was being spoken about, however I felt Magnums text was incomplete, not having mentionned Robert Capa – the two had been lovers, and even shared the same ‘nom du plume’ to publish their, collective, images. In fact it turns out that a substantial amount of the work published by \u00ab\u00a0Robert Capa\u00a0\u00bb was by Gerda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visibly this was NOT to the taste of everyone – namely a certain Chris Helgren who, on one of the few bits of his web site that actually works, says he is a photographer working for REUTERS. He criticised me for mentioning Capas name saying \u00ab\u00a0…because nothing says Women’s Day better than a reference to a man.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You got it wrong mate – I think it’s great that someone has finally dug up Gerda Taro’s name for all to see and appreciate her work – I simply mentionned Capa’s name to give context and not in anyway to denegrate the importance of her or the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But of course this person says he works for REUTERS, so he must be right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
