The Mexican Suitcase

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

From the ICP website:

“In late December 2007, three small cardboard boxes arrived at the International Center of Photography from Mexico City after a long and mysterious journey. These tattered boxes—the so-called Mexican Suitcase—contained the legendary Spanish Civil War negatives of Robert Capa. Rumors had circulated for years of the survival of the negatives, which had disappeared from Capa’s Paris studio at the beginning of World War II. Cornell Capa, Robert’s brother and the founder of ICP, had diligently tracked down each tale and vigorously sought out the negatives, but to no avail. When, at last, the boxes were opened for the 89-year-old Cornell Capa, they revealed 126 rolls of film—not only by Robert Capa, but also by Gerda Taro and David Seymour (known as “Chim”), three of the major photographers of the Spanish Civil War. Together, these roles of film constitute an inestimable record of photographic innovation and war photography, but also of the great political struggle to determine the course of Spanish history and to turn back the expansion of global fascism.”

“Following the long-delayed return of Robert Capa’s “Mexican Suitcase” to ICP’s midtown archive, and the overwhelming response it has received from individuals and media outlets around the world, our staff discussed the need for an online space where visitors could go to stay up-to-date about this story as it unfolds. This site grew out of those conversations.”

Interesting stuff

Why I’ve been quiet here…

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

So I’ve been really (really) busy at work these past few weeks. After getting back from holidays, I hit the ground running to work on the next installment of the Systembolaget AlkoholProfilen.se.

It’s a website where we can determine the drinking habits, health risks and advice to give to Swedes who take the 14 question survey. I wrote a fair chunk of this website, including some pretty neat Javascript components that we will be discussing over on Kontain in the next week or so.

So yes, lots to talk about, but I’m sure you’ve already caught up with my happenings on Twitter or Facebook. I will do my best to keep this blog updated whenever I can.

Nice!
