Cornell Capa, who founded the International Center of Photography after close to 30 years as a photojournalist, himself, died this past Friday. The brother of Robert Capa, he worked first on the staff of Life magazine, and then as a member of Magnum Photos. He once said, “I am not an artist, and I never intended to be one. I hope I have made some good photographs, but what I really hope is that I have done some good photo stories with memorable images that make a point, and, perhaps, even make a difference.” He was last interviewed by Leonard Lopate in November of 1992.
