In 1987, the country was glued to the story of “Baby Jessica” McClure, a toddler who fell down a well and was trapped for 2-1/2 days. When rescuers finally brought her back above ground, photographer Scott Shaw of the Odessa (Texas) American captured the emotional moment on film — and won the Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography the following year.

In 1980, the Pulitzer Prize was given anonymously for the first and only time in the award’s history. The Spot News Photography winner had captured a controversial image of an Iranian firing squad executing 11 prisoners, but the photo was published without his name for his protection. In 2006, the photographer’s identity was revealed and Jahangir Razmi finally received recognition as a Pulitzer Prize winner.

Brian Lanker details the special bond he shares with his famous photo of childbirth, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1973, and discusses the stark contrast between his image and that year’s Spot News Photography winner of children being bombed in Vietnam.
