When you win the award you dont get a

very big prize. You just get a citation and

you get about 5,000 dollars which seemspretty small compared to other major

awards. But The best thing you get out of

it is recognition beyond anything worth

monetary value.The winner forthat yearma es a contribution to the historical

record and by doing so, becomes a part

of it.

That question has causedcontroversy betweenphotographers and

photojournalists for decades.The definite answer, after more

that half a century, remainselusive


11/45

No collection of Photographs serve the

historical record better than the group of

pictures that, since 1942 have won the

Pulitzer Prize for Photography.

Many of the pictures are very dramatic.These types of photos are incredibly hard to

ta e.Opportunities for these inds of pictures are

fleeting. A picture exists in only a win of an eye and

afterwards it is

lost forever

All to a distracted

photographer.

Most of the pictures leaves us thin ing about the story about

it. One picture can tell so much. Photographers stop history

for a micro second of time and hold it up for everyone to seefor eternity.

This particular story

is one about a one

month old child

ta en by rough

waves. But you can

interpret the picture

in so many other

ways.


21/45

Some Photographs are so simple; So direct; and

have a message so clear that they lac the need

for an explanation or caption.

Pictures convey so many different things

happening in our world. These pictures capture

moments of terror, moments of joy, and

moments of pure humanity. Some pictures canma e us feel terrified, scared, and downright

miserable. While others can give us that warm

fuzzy feeling inside. It all depends on how you

loo at the big picture.
