At first, people said, “Ah, you did it all on the computer.” No it wasn’t done on the computer. That’s the ignorance of so many of the younger photographers. They think everything’s done on the computer.

I think we have to be targeted. Sometimes the most effective thing is to be on the front page of The New York Times, and sometimes the most effective thing is to put several photographs in front of three people in the world. You just have to choose those three people and put your case to those three people, and that can be a lot more effective than putting it on the front cover of The New York Times.

I was immediately intrigued by the first picture in Phyllis Dooney’s project Moonflowers, about a gay woman in the Mississippi Delta. Over three years, Dooney documented Halea Brown and her family in an attempt to portray larger issues that affect American families. Poignant and emotional, I believe this work has the potential to deepen beyond its current scope. And with this prize, I hope Dooney will be inspired to continue to build on what she has already created.

Like most newspapers in the United States, the Post Dispatch — which was founded by Joseph Pulitzer — has suffered budget cuts and staff reductions over the last 20 years. The photography department, which once numbered 20 to 30 staff members in the 1990s, now has fewer than a dozen
Daniel Berehulak’s coverage of the Ebola crisis in West Africa for The New York Times earned him the Pulitzer Prize for feature photography.
Mr. Berehulak, a freelance photographer who works mostly for the Times, has spent four months since August covering the Ebola crisis in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. As he covered the story’s full arc, he took few breaks and many precautions.
On Monday afternoon, a few hours after winning a Pulitzer for breaking news photography with the photo staff at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, David Carson went right back to work. Earlier, there was a little champagne and a cake that went uncut for while. The newsroom was proud of the win, Carson said, but it’s hard to celebrate something that started with a young man losing his life.
