  • I'm having trouble publishing again.

    I don't know if it's just me or not. Recent history tells me to wait an hour or two before getting worked up over it.

    Hopefully, I'll be back to posting later.

  • It just moved me.

    Which is the hallmark of many, many Pulitzer Prize winning photos: gut-wrenchingly moving.

  • Are you telling me this won a pulitzer?

    I have no idea. I pulled it off cryptome and pretty much all it had were the soldier's name and the details of his death.

  • This may be the best of the lot, Mike. This is amazing.

    And blogger is soooooo screwy today. Think it's time to switch to someplace else...

  • I keep thinking that, but it seems like alot of work to get everybody to update all the links, and I just keep thinking that they'll get it all straightened out.

    And, frankly, it's free, it's easy, and generally, if you wait two hours, the problems go away. That long outage the other day was the first one since I've been doing this.

  • Mike,

    I was too cryptic. I don't think this particular picture is a Pulitzer winner, but it has all the gut wrenching qualities that one usually finds in a Pulitzer Prize winning image. Thus I went for the easy alliteration, "Painfully Pulitzeresque."

    Sorry for any confusion.

  • It definitely speaks volumes...and it is too bad it ever had to be taken.
