Full Frame

Associated Press did not earn the 29 photo Pulitzers awarded to over the years by just sitting around on their hands. Paul Sancya had to actually show up at the press conference, and then he probably had to breifly ask himself what it really means to be a human being. Then he took this photo, which shows Thomas "the Hitman" Hearns trying not to choke on history's fumes; if I knew how to sculpt, I would make a religious icon out of it. The suit! The game face! The hand of time scribbling all over Hearns like a crazed two-year-old with a crayon! A picture isn't worth a thousand words; it's worth about four hard ones: Hello. I was here.
