shewhomustThis morning's Today programme included an item on a cache of negatives by Robert Capa which have just come into the hands of the International Centre of Photography in New York; there's a rather better account of this story in the New York Times, which includes a zoomable photograph of one of the boxes of rolls of film, and an illustrated explanation of why this acquisition is important to the history of photography.

No, sorry, only got four things today.
