Shortly afterwards, a column of about 25 tanks began to roll down the same lane. Stuart and I were shooting shoulder to shoulder as they made their way down the avenue. Then suddenly from the roadside, we saw a young man, with a jacket in one hand and a shopping bag in the other, step into the path of the tanks in an attempt to halt them.
I think his action captured people's hearts everywhere, and when the moment came his character defined the moment rather than the moment defining him It was an incredible thing to do, especially in light of what had just happened with the APC machine-gunners. I couldn't really believe it, I kept shooting in anticipation of what I felt was his certain doom.
To my amazement, the lead tank stopped, then tried to move around him but the young man cut it off again. Finally the PSB grabbed him and ran away with him. Stuart and I looked at each other in somewhat disbelief at what we had just seen and photographed.
Later, Stuart left to go to Beijing University and I stayed behind to see what else might happen. Shortly after he left, PSB agents crashed through our hotel room door. Four agents swept in and assaulted me while a few others grabbed my cameras.
They ripped the film from my cameras and confiscated my passport. They then forced me to write a statement that I was photographing during martial law, which unbeknown to me carried a hefty prison sentence. They then put a guard at the door.
I had hidden the roll with the tank pictures in its plastic film can in the holding tank of the toilet. When they left, I retrieved it and later made my way to AP to develop and transmit it to Newsweek in New York.
Three other photographers also have the shot from different angles.
Numerous inquiries have been made by various agencies and magazines trying to uncover the young man's identity and find out what happened to him. I've seen a number of accounts that name him as Wang Wei Lin, but that isn't a certainty.
Personally I think the government most likely executed him. It would have been in the government's interest to produce him to silence the outcry from most of the world. But, they never could. People were executed at that time for far less than what he did. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4313282.stm

In the second of five pieces by photographers talking about their award-winning work, Frank Fournier describes how he captured the tragic image of 13-year-old Omayra Sanchez trapped in debris caused by a mudslide following the eruption of a volcano in Colombia in 1985.

Red Cross rescue workers had apparently repeatedly appealed to the government for a pump to lower the water level and for other help to free the girl. Finally rescuers gave up and spent their remaining time with her, comforting her and praying with her. She died of exposure after about 60 hours.
The picture had tremendous impact when it was published. Television cameras had already relayed Omayra's agony into homes around the world.
