World Press Photo of the Year: 1968
Saigon, South Vietnam, 1 February 1968. South Vietnam national police chief Nguyen Ngoc Loan executes a suspected Viet Cong member.
About the image: Drawn by gunfire, Adams watched South Vietnamese soldiers bring a Viet Cong captive to a street corner, where he assumed he would be interrogated. Instead, Loan strode up, wordlessly drew a pistol and executed him. Years later, Adams found himself so defined and haunted by the picture that he wouldn't display it in his studio.

Loc Thuong, Binh Dinh, South Vietnam, September 1965. Mother and children wade across river to escape US bombing.
About the image: Sawada braved going down to the riverside, which was under attack, to take the picture, and then wiped the youngest child's eyes when they reached his side. His widow tells that his evidence of the tragedies of war reached a wider audience after winning, but it also pressured him, and turned him taciturn.

World Press Photo of the Year: 1991
Iraq, February 1991. US Sergeant Ken Kozakiewicz mourns the death of fellow soldier Andy Alaniz, a victim of friendly fire on the final day of fighting in the Gulf War. About the image: Sitting knee-to-knee with the soldier who just realized his best friend is dead, Turnley pondered his position as a photographer - the ability to enter people's lives in very intimate ways - and tried to preserve his subject's dignity. He feels his photo reinforces the reality of war, that no matter the politics, human life is at risk.
