Photojournalist Horst Faas was born on April 28, 1933 in Berlin Germany and died May 10, 2012. Faas began photography professionally at the age of 21 with the Keystone Agency and in 1956 he joined the Associated Press. Horst Faas became well known as a war photographer, covering conflicts in the Congo and Algeria, but is best known for his work in Vietnam. He spent a lot of time in Vietnam following troops and civilians that were caught in violent conflicts. Faas won the 1965 Pulitzer Prize for his photos of the Vietnam War. In 1967, Faas was hit by a rocket propelled grenade and his leg were severely wounded which left the photographer in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Horst Faas was not only known as a photographer but also received renown as a photo editor. On June 8, 1972, Faas was on the photo desk when AP photographer Nick Ut’s image of The Napalm Girl came to him for distribution. The image depicted a nude girl running down the road in terror following a napalm attack. Although it was controversial at the time to run the image, Faas insisted the picture be widely distributed over the AP's wire. Ut’s Napalm Girl went on to receive the 1973 Pulitzer Prize.
