Eddie Adams


Adams has taken some of the most iconic and devastating photos we know. He won the Pulitzer prize for this photo in Vietnam of Vietnamese General Nguyen Ngoc Loan executing a Viet Cong lieutenant at point-blank range. 



when ever I see this photo I cant help but wounder what coursed this scenario and why did it have to happen even though i know it because of the war. most of the photojournalism that becomes well known are usual to do with war and this is a perfect exampal. I have never really like war photography because of the sadness that is in them this is image of an execution shows what war can lead to and a photojournalism is capturing that one moment that may be the one image that is connected to the war and the image above is that image for the Vietnam war
