    This is a bit of an unfortunate cut-out of the documentary, as half-way and especially with the comment at the end, his words could be mistaken to promote mindlessly taking thousands of pictures.

    Born in Budapest in 1918, Cornell Capa came to
    New York City in 1937. He became a staff photographer at LIFE
    magazine in 1946, and in 1954 joined the influential Magnum agency,
    which was founded by his brother, photojournalist Robert Capa. Microcinema International’s EXCLUSIVELY DISTRIBUTED “Toward the Margin of Life” will be released on 6/15/10. The audiovisual presentation provides a
    candid glimpse into Cornell’s world of concerned photography.

    He was a grumpy old devil, but clearly an incredible, and much loved street photographer.
