Pulitzer Prize Winning News Phototgraph

Here is the 2010 Pulitzer Prize winning new photograph by Afghani Massoud Hossaini. The 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography went to Agence France-Presse photographer Massoud Hossaini for his heartbreaking image of a 12-year-old Afghan girl, Tarana Akbari, surrounded by dead bodies after a suicide bomber’s attack at a crowded shrine in Kabul.

What does it take to be a prize winning news photographer? Does one have to be an emotional rock? Does it become first instinct to first be the eye behind the lens, before you can be the hand that wipes a tear? Is he the dedicated photographer who seized the opportunity to show the world what he saw?
