There is absolutely no reason to get up in the mornings any more


"While I was shaving, I heard her talking on the phone. When I came out of the bathroom, Pinky had her overcoat on, her face was made up, and she wore her glasses. She said, " i want to kiss you". Then she walked out. In front of the door there were two bottles of milk and two newspapers. The letters on the top paper were unusually fat: 
WAR IN EUROPE OVER. 

There is absolutely no reason to get up in the mornings any more."

Robert Capa

A gambler


"If at this point my son should interrupt me, and ask, 'What is the difference between the war correspondent and any other man in uniform?' I would say that the war correspondent gets more drinks, more girls, better pay, and greater freedom than the soldier, but at this stage of the game, having the freedom to choose his spot and being allowed to be a coward and not be executed for it is his torture. The war correspondent has his stake - his life - in his own hands, and he can put it on this horse or that horse, or he can put it back in his pocket at the very last minute. I am a gambler. I decided to go in with Company E in the first wave."

Slightly out of focus: Robert Capa died today, May 25 1954.
