Pulitzer Prize Winner
Edward T. Adams
Born: June 12, 1933
Eddie Adams won the Pulitzer prize in 1969 while working for the Associated press.
This picture shows a lot of emotion, and is candid. The focus and contrast is good, and it uses the rule of thirds.
Eddie Adams wasn't very proud of his picture that won the pulitzer prize because it only showed one side of the story. Adams once said: "The general killed the Viet Cong; I killed the general with my camera. Still photographs are the most powerful weapon in the world. People believe them; but photographs do lie, even without manipulation. They are only half-truths." Adams apologized to the general in the picture, for making him hated by the American people.
Adams was much more proud of his pictures that he took of Vietnamese refugees that sailed to Thailand in a 30-foot boat. These pictures persuaded the president, Jimmy Carter, to grant many of the Vietnamese boat people asylum.
