Pulitzer's winner of the winner of Trump's bullet whining

Veteran New York Times Photographer Doug Mills said it was a combination of “longevity” and “happiness” that led him to capture Pulitzer's winning photographs series against President Donald Trump.

“This is undoubtedly the most dangerous situation I've ever been to,” said Mills, who has photographed every president since 1983. He added that it was even the most historic set of pictures he had ever made.

Its the sequence of the winning photos Contains Trump's head whispers. Mills also conquered the aftermath, as Trump pumped a fist and sent off the podium by secret service, blood crossing his face.

Mills remembers that the shots rang six to eight feet away and his news instincts jumped in. He didn't know what the sounds were at first, but he was already on the shutter with his finger because he was trying to capture a photo of Trump, which gestured on the chart.

“I didn't take my finger off the shutter. I didn't fly,” he said, adding my experience as a sports photographer. “I didn't stop to see where the shots came, but I just kept my finger on the button.”

“My instincts to shoot sports really came through because it's so fast and you expect it to be one of the highlights,” he said.

As a result of the shooting, the false information floated, which was over. He remembers the speech of Maggie Haberman, a New York Times reporter, allegedly claiming that the fragments of a glass of a telemprompter had hit Trump's ear.

Mills said he was “stunned” after he sent his photos back to the office when editor Jennifer Mosbrucker called to say that one picture had captured Bullet eastern.

“I just couldn't believe it,” he said.

“You win prizes with this photo”

Mills said Trump – who has long been your work free – “Breasted” in the photo several times, including days after the murder test behind the stage of the Republican National Convention.

“You can win prizes with this photo,” Mills said that he remembers Trump, saying him.

Trump has also complimented the work of others that day.

“Many people say this is the most iconic photo they've ever seen,” Trump said about the second picture of Evan Vucci, an associated press photographer. “They are right and I did not die. Usually you have to die to get an iconic picture.”

Mills said that although the work done by his colleagues that day was “equally large”, he believes he received Pulitzer because no one else was trying to see the shooting.

“I think it took it to a new level of journalism,” he said.

“Biden photography was much more complicated”

If a senior photographer For the times WHO After Ronald Reagan's presidents and campaigns, Mills has previously won two Pulitzer Clinton/Gore campaigns and Monica Lewinsky's affair.

He also struck the moment when former President George W. Bush was reported on September 11's attacks in Florida Elementary School classroom.

In addition to Pulitzers, Mills was honored for his work, which included former President Joe Biden, including a Award of the White House Correspondents AssociationTo.

But Mills said the difference between Biden and Trump was like “Night and Day”. As a career politician, Biden was much less outgoing and less interested in his images, Mills said. This made him less dynamic and photogenic than Trump.

“Biden photography was much more difficult,” he said, “but it kept you on the toes.”
