Lyn Moir
Posing for Mister Capa, Spain 1936
"Hey, you, you'll do," he said, and had me stand
on a small hillock, in the sand, and wave
my arms and buckle at the knees. "A bit
more anguish as you drop," he called, "let's have
that one again." Of course I did - you do
when someone offers you a cigarette
or two. And so I waved my rifle, yelled
out as I held it, saw a flash and fell
spectacularly, grimacing. He got
the picture, fame, and I the unmarked grave.
