He was a inspiration to many and will be missed.

Stealing bits from the AP report:

Pioneer photojournalist Cornell Capa, who used his pictures to illuminate social and political causes, and who also founded the International Center of Photography, died today. He was 90.

Cornell Capa was a Life magazine staff photographer from 1946 to 1954. He later joined the Paris-based Magnum agency founded by his brother Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson and others.

He died peacefully at his New York City home.
