Subject: Vs: [Leica] Robert Capa Photo

Hair-trigger reflexes, a predisposition to premonitions, extraordinary luck - these
are some of the qualities that distinguish the best photographers. It's easy to
question Capa's photo now that he is gone. Will any of you dare wonder aloud how our
own Ted Grant captured Pierre Trudeau sliding down the bannister? To me, Ted's image
is no less remarkable and, in some ways, equally historic. And it too is 100% real.
