However, the address for Trusted.com was changed after the second PetaPixel article ran. The address was changed to 11950 Democracy Drive, Reston, Virginia.

The tale begins in Paris in 1935, according to Variety, and will be a “snapshot of a torrid two-year romance with Gerda Taro during the Spanish Civil War.” According to Fortes’ novel, Taro and Capa, both refugees fleeing the Nazis, had the shared intention when they met of becoming photographers and that the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War a year later gave them their big opportunity.

The challenge was to come up with something different with so many different Chinese and international media covering the event from every angle. After waiting half the previous night for a pass and then catching only 3 hours sleep in the press centre lobby, I got put on a stand with a hundred odd of my media collegues including the likes of the BBC, Reuters, AP and AFP so there was no point doing the same as they were.
