Anyone who's ever argued as to whether photography is an art form (and there are a lot of people who do not think it is) should look at his body of work. I'm always so impressed at the perception and skill that could produce such fabulous results. (The shot of the Bolshoi is one of my all-time favorites). Like Impressionism, photography captures the essence of the moment for the artist, and photogs like Capa were truly masters of the medium.
