At What Price a Photograph?
Robert Capa (birth name Andrei Friedman) was born in 1913 in Budapest,
Hungary. He left Europe under Nazi occupation and became an American citizen.
A photo-journalist by profession, Robert took some now famous images of
war in the 1930s and 1940s. In 1954 he volunteered to photograph the French
Indo-China War for Life Magazine. In May 1954 Robert was walking up a
road in Thai binh, Vietnam to find exactly the right distance and angle
for his picture when he trod on a landmine and was instantly killed. Instead
of photographing the news, he made the news.

I never raised my boy to be a soldier
I never raised my boy to be a soldier
I brought him up to be my pride and joy
Who dares to lay a gun upon his shoulder
And teach him how to kill another mother's boy
I never raised my boy to be a soldier
I brought him up to stay at home with me
There would be no war today, if every mother would say
I never raised my boy to be a soldier Traditional North Country
I brought him up to be my pride and joy
Who dares to lay a gun upon his shoulder
And teach him how to kill another mother's boy
I never raised my boy to be a soldier

Yet the rose has one powerful virtue to boast above all the flowers of
the field. When its leaves are all dead and the fine colors are lost.
Still how sweet a perfume it will yield.
