The 2007 Pulitzer Prize winner for feature photography was awarded to Renee C. Byer. 
The black and white work depicts the struggle of a single mother and her 10 year old son as he battles cancer. The images are as beautiful as they are horrific. That a child would have to endure such pain and deterioration is terrifying and I can't even imagine what his mother went through as is still going through. I look at my two babies and it breaks my heart to even think of the possibilities. This work represents an unbelievable strength and emotion within every single still image. If you haven't yet seen these images I urge you to do so right now they'll remind you that every single moment specially the one with your children is a special and unique moment. As unique photographs these images stand out with their use of high contrast which to me really capture the moods and emotions.
