Pulitzer Prize-winning war photographer Eddie Adams died Saturday in New York. He will forever be remembered for the picture above. What a life he had.

In a 45-year career, much of it spent in the front ranks of news photographers, he worked for The Associated Press, Time and Parade, covering 13 wars and amassing about 500 photojournalism awards.

Adams also ran brilliant photojournalism workshops. RIP.
