comparision of Robert Capa and Tony Vaccaro

When World War II began, Robert Capa and Tony Vaccaro were, surprisingly in the same city of New York. However Robert Capa photographed (at first) for Collier's Weekly alongside allied troops, where as Tony Vaccaro was drafted as a scout giving him ample opportunity to photograph.

Robert Capa was well prepared for photography with two contax II cameras and plenty of spare film where as Tony Vaccaro had only a cheap Argus C-3 and had to acquire film in the field and develop the photos there.
