The Mexican Suitcase

Thousands of negatives of photographs taken by Robert Capa during the Spanish Civil War, long thought to be lost forever, have resurfaced in Mexico. His most famous and controversial photo, 'Loyalist militiaman at the moment of death' (which shook the world at the time), is among them.

Apparently, many people are eagerly awaiting the chance to examine said negative in order to prove whether or not its a montage (as has been suggested).

Montage? I think you mean staged, no?

He took awesome photographs.
