Du Cille won three Pulitzer Prizes during his career, two for photography at The Miami Herald and one at the Post. At the Herald he shared his first Pulitzer with Carol Guzy for their coverage of the deadly Nevado del Ruiz volcano in Colombia. His second Pulitzer in Miami was for his documentary picture story of crack addicts in a public housing project, published in The Herald’s Sunday magazine, Tropic. Then in 2008 he shared his third Pulitzer, with Post reporters Dana Priest and Anne Hull, for their investigative series on the treatment of military veterans at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
