Happy 100th Birthday Robert Capa

Robert Capa turns 100 today! The International Center of Photography and Magnum Photos (co-founded by Capa himself) have teamed up to put together a 100 day exhibit featuring his works. Each day the exhibit presents a new Capa work, along with another photograph that ‘visually responds’ to the Capa photograph. The audience is invited to 'get closer’ and to respond by posting their own photos via Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Capa is one of the most noted war photographers in history, having covered five major wars: the Spanish Civil War, the Second Sino-Japanese War, World War II, the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, and the First Indochina War. 

See Magnum Photos for exhibit updates and be sure to tag #getcloser when posting your own photos.

"The Knife"

Take a look at these awesome installation pieces created by Maria Luján and Wolfgang Krug. The project, titled “The Knife” is made from cardboard and paper. Luján and Krug create larger than life sized knives to emulate crimes scenes and place them around the streets of Berlin. Luján describes the project as “just for the fun of it” and that is exactly what it is-fun and hilarious.

Check out Maria Luján and Wolfgang Krug’s other works.
