About Matthias
Dear friends,
I am a professor in neuroscience from Ukraine. I have visited Pulitzer price photo section in November (Neuroscience Society reception). Just at the entrance to the section I saw a big photo depicting two children riding a horse. Now this picture comes to my mind constantly and I am just eager to repeat the experience of seeing it again. Could you provide me with a link?
Many thanks!
Yours Oleg
Hi Oleg, sorry but I couldn’t find a picture as described by you among the current or past Pulitzer winners. I guess the photo you’ve seen is from one of the finalists whose photos aren’t published on the Pulitzer website. Hope you have luck finding it again.
