David C. Turnley is a Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer.  He won his Pulitzer for his coverage of all the Revolutions in 1989.  He has covered many major news stories in the last thirty years.  He has a bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan in French Literature, an Honorary Doctorate from the New School in New York, and he also did a Neiman Fellowship at Harvard.  He is currently living in New York, and is fluent in French and Spanish.

This photo was taken by Turnley in 1991 during a trip he took to Iraq/Kuwait.  It shows the soldier crying, and you can also see the body bag to the right.  This is a unique photo because it captures an emotional side of soldiers that we do not see very often.

This photo was taken in 1991 in Iran.  It shows a little girl who appears scared, and clinging to her mother's arm.  I think he did a great job at illustrating how a child feels when their world around them seems to be falling apart.  

The picture above shows what great lengths photographers have to go through to capture a shot during a significant event in history.  This photo was taken in 1994 in South Africa showing the post-election violence that was going on.  Here you can see a man with a gun, as well as people laying on the ground, and some taking pictures.  This photo show that there was violence going on in the streets of this city, and innocent people were involved.
