As far as I know, the lab technician who "cooked" Capa's negs, later became a notable expert in the field of photography. Shows to go you :) He actually turned a sow's ear into a silk purse.

Not quite. Dennis Banks was the lab tech who ruined the film and then unfairly blamed it on the 15-year-old "tea boy", Larry Burrows, who went on to a distinguished career as a combat photographer and who died in Viet-Nam. I don't recall that Dennis Banks ever made much of a name for himself.
