Robert Capa...

One of the most striking, moving photos of the last one hundred years has received a new batch of criticism. As a photographer, there is a good chance that you are familiar with Robert Capa's "Falling Soldier" image. As a photojournalist, you pretty much HAVE to know about it. Even if the name isn't instantly recognizable - like say Ansel Adams would be to the average photo fan - you'll probably still know the image.

Well, read this story regarding the debate behind the image:

Was it staged? Is it real? What do you think? How do you think that affects the impact/emotion/importance of the image?
