Capa´s long lost negatives discovered

Just found this wonderful thing at Rob Galbraith´s page.

A case full of history. Just think of the thrill if you were the person who opened the case.
Robert Capa´s long lost negatives from the spanish civil war, hidden in what called "the Mexican suitcase" has now been discovered. The negatives have been gone since Capa fled europe prior to the nazi invasion. And now their found, in Mexico City. Wow. What a trip.
The New York Times featuring a story about "The Capa Cashe" and you can also find a slideshow containing some of the negatives from the case.

Maybe this negatives can give us the truth about whether Robert Capa´s most famous picture
"The Falling Soldier" is staged or not.

Good night, time to sleep.
