Damon Winter Pulitzer Winner
From The New York Times:
A reflection in a puddle on an airport tarmac or in a mirrorlike teleprompter. Silhouetted shadows on a chain-link fence. A cascade of empty metal bleachers. Not the stuff of ordinary political coverage. But Damon Winter, 34, had never before covered a presidential campaign. So maybe he didn’t know how many rules he was breaking as he followed Senator Barack Obama. But that approach worked, and he received the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for feature photography.

Pulitzer Prizes Go to Damon Winter and Patrick Farrell
From State of the Art:
The 2009 Pulitzer Prize winners were announced today. In the Feature Photography category, Damon Winter of the New York Times won for his “memorable array of pictures deftly capturing multiple facets of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.”
In the Breaking News category, the award went to Patrick Farrell of the Miami Herald for coverage of Haiti in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. The jury called Farrell’s work “impeccably composed images of despair.” The photo below shows four-year old Veronica Lonis, malnourished and weighing 16 pounds.

Brian Ulrich can’t believe he’s alive…
From dvafoto:
Brian Ulrich can’t believe he’s alive because he’s just been named a 2009 Guggenheim Fellow. Other photographers awarded the fellowship this year, most previously unknown to me: Thomas Joshua Cooper (examples), Osamu James Nakagawa, Suzanne Opton (you may have seen her Soldier Billboard Project), Anna Shteynshleyger, Cheryle St. Onge, and Byron Glen Wolfe (can’t find anything online for Wolfe…).

RFK Center Announces Winners of 2009 Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards
From Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights:
Domestic Photography Winner: “Too Young to Die” by Carlos Javier Ortiz, freelancer: Featured in Ebony Magazine, this series examines the epidemic of gun violence which not only plagues lower-income, urban neighborhoods, but youth from all walks of American life. Ortiz’ artistry and sensitivity delivers a powerful look at a tough subject.
International Photography: “Birth and Death”, Carol Guzy, Washington Post: With one in eight women dying in childbirth, Sierra Leone has the world’s highest rate of maternal mortality. Carol Guzy beautifully and movingly captures the pain, desperation and grief experienced by family members dealing with the loss of a young mother, a child, or often both. She amplifies the need for adequate medical care and supplies to stem the avoidable deaths. Guzy is a multiple RFK Award winner.
