Pulitzer Prize Photographs


The first photograph is called the Boston Fire. The photograph shows a woman and her child falling from a burning building. The woman is tumbling under the child, whose face you can see. The image is pretty gruesome. Both suspended in id-air, looks of horror etched on their faces. At least we know that the child survived. This picture led to stronger fire safety laws throughout the United States.
The second photograph shows a family rushing to greet a soldier from war. He had been detained in a Vietcong Prison Camp for six years. When he finally got home, his family was happy to see him. This picture made me feel happy. It's nice to see soldiers in a positive light for a change.
