Robert Capa was there, man
The ICP has over 4,000 new transparencies (who knew he shot so much in color!) in their collection, so I suspect more will come in all good time.

Zack Arias: Life Without DSLRS (Fuji X100s Follow-up)
Zack Arias writes more about his experiences after ditching the DSLRs and shooting Fuji.
It’s akin to artists moving into a bad part of town because the rent is affordable. Then they make that bad part of town cool. Then people start pouring in and shops and restaurants open up. Rent goes up to the point that the people who made that place cool can no longer afford to live there and they have to go find a new place to live. Fuji is that new place to live.
— Zack Arias
Signhild’s Unlikely Childhood
Emil Nyström makes some fantastic images of his daughter Signhild in very unlikely situations.
This is one of those times where I really wish I was capable of manipulating images like this; the holiday greeting cards alone could earn a year-round place under the magnets of refrigerators of friends and family!
Re-creating dreams in photos
a Period of Juvenile Prosperity
At 17 Mike Brodie hopped his first train close to his home in Pensacola, FL thinking he would visit a friend in Mobile, AL. Instead the train went in the opposite direction to Jacksonville, FL. Days later, Brodie rode the same train home, arriving back where he started. Nonetheless, it sparked something and Brodie began to wander across the U.S. by any means that were free — walking, hitchhiking and train hopping. Shortly after, Brodie found a Polaroid camera stuffed behind a carseat. With no training in photography and coke-bottle glasses, the instant camera was an opening for Brodie to document his experiences. As a way of staying in touch with his transient community,Brodie shared his pictures on various websites gaining the moniker The Polaroid Kidd [sic].
