The Pulitzer Prize Winning Photography of Craig Walker

A short time back I came across a photo documentary of a teenage soldier. The Denver Post project tells the story of young Ian Fisher, a teenager from Colorado who is searching for manhood and a meaning to his life. Besides the fascinating storyline, the thing that really drew me in was the amazing images from Craig F. Walker, a photojournalist for the Post. Walker’s images chronicled the journey of Fisher as he dealt with family, friends, loves and losses as he went from recruit to soldier in Iraq and everything in between.

If you have some free time this weekend, take a few minutes to be inspired by a truly amazing photographic storyteller. You will quickly see why Walker won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished example of feature photography.

You can see the entire Denver Post feature, including the photographs, videos and more by following this link. It’s nice to see that the art of visual storytelling is alive and well.
