The Pulitzer Prizes – Lens

The Pulitzer Prizes for photography were awarded today to Craig F. Walker of The Denver Post and Mary Chind of The Des Moines Register. Mr. Walker received the award for feature photography for the series “Ian Fisher: American Soldier,” which followed Mr. Fisher from high school to basic training to a yearlong stint in Iraq, and back home. Ms. Chind won the breaking news photography award for her dramatic image of a construction worker dangling over the Des Moines River as he tried to rescue a 67-old-woman whose boat had capsized.
