Gerda Taro, war photographer

Gerda Taro was seen by many as the first woman known to photograph a battle from the front lines and to die covering a war.

She is perhaps more famouse for being the girlfriend of well-known war photographer Robert Capa.

The New York Times is running a story on an exhibition of Gerda's work ...photographs that were only discovered in 1980.

The story is an interesting one.

Shannon, you need to go see the exhibition and let me know about it ... if you have time and inclination ;)
