In 1942, a dashing young man who liked nothing so much as a heated game of poker, a good bottle of scotch, and the company of a pretty girl hopped a merchant ship to England. He was Robert Capa, the brilliant and daring photojournalist, and Collier's magazine had put him on assignment to photograph the war raging in Europe. In these pages, Capa recounts his terrifying journey through the darkest battles of World War II and shares his memories of the men and women of the Allied forces who befriended, amused, and captivated him along the way. His photographs are masterpieces -- John G. Morris, Magnum Photos' first executive editor, called Capa "the century's greatest battlefield photographer" -- and his writing is by turns riotously funny and deeply moving.
From Sicily to London, Normandy to Algiers, Capa experienced some of the most trying conditions imaginable, yet his compassion and wit shine on every page of this book. Charming and profound, Slightly Out of Focus is a marvelous memoir told in words and pictures by an extraordinary man.

He was a legend, and I have occasionally gotten part of his memory to chase the legend. With his biography in the subway or on the waiting bench, it meant a lot more than killing the time. It is one of the only two books written by himself, with not perfe...

约翰·斯坦贝克说：“卡帕知道去寻找什么，也知道如何应对。比如说，你很难拍摄战争，因为它在很大程度上就是一种情感。但卡帕却通过其他的影像，捕捉到了这份情感。他可以从一个儿童的脸上表现一个人所有的恐惧。他的相机捕捉并且保存了感情。他照片的成功绝非偶然，当中对情感的捕捉也绝非运气。他可以拍摄情感、欢乐和心碎的瞬间，也可以拍摄艰难的时刻。卡帕的作品本身就是一颗伟大的心和压倒一切的悲悯。没人能取代他。没有人... 约翰·斯坦贝克说：“卡帕知道去寻找什么，也知道如何应对。比如说，你很难拍摄战争，因为它在很大程度上就是一种情感。但卡帕却通过其他的影像，捕捉到了这份情感。他可以从一个儿童的脸上表现一个人所有的恐惧。他的相机捕捉并且保存了感情。他照片的成功绝非偶然，当中对情感的捕捉也绝非运气。他可以拍摄情感、欢乐和心碎的瞬间，也可以拍摄艰难的时刻。卡帕的作品本身就是一颗伟大的心和压倒一切的悲悯。没人能取代他。没有人能代替这位优秀的艺术家，但我们很幸运地在他的照片里看到了他可贵的品质。” (展开)

敏锐，细腻，点到为止不矫情，笑看人生的幽默。明知山有虎 偏向虎山行的勇气令人敬佩。和Pinky的感情线写得太好了，战争时期的爱情，有生死压力下的决断，也有身不由己的遗憾。

20131102想读。对个人生死，战争成败，家国命运统统言笑豁达，几乎带些无厘头的感觉。不羁不畏的粗线条下又仍容得下让人心肝疼的细节，如意大利童子军葬礼上太小的儿童棺木，解放巴黎时即将被鲜血覆盖的口红印，攻取柏林时年轻战士最终成为遗像的照片，等等。美酒与爱情是唯二生存必需品，这大概是这个战地记者完全不计生死的原因吧。

象童年时代的床头故事一样的精彩。我怀疑爸爸的故事是从这里看来的。卡帕，始终是我心爱的一个人。
