...simply abandoned the assignment. "The conduct of the photographers was morally reprehensible, he recalls with anger. "They were literally trampling dying babies to get better shots." Frequently, however, they are also brave and daring, in an old-fashioned way that is rare nowadays. In Viet Nam, some 30 cameramen were killed or listed as missing covering history's most photographed war More photojournalists died than generals," says Magnum Executive Raymond Depardon. Many of them took their credo from Robert Capa, the legendary photographer best remembered for his stunning LIFE shots of the troops landing on Dday, "If your pictures...
