Signed Print. Two boys enjoy a ride on the Ferris wheel at the San Gennaro Festival in Manhattan's Little Italy, Sept. 26, 2006. Ice Parent, Chang Lee, born in Pusan, Korea, came to the United States in 1986 and graduated from New York University. Starting as an intern at The Times in 1994, he has developed a unique photographic style that combines an impeccable sense of light with complicated composition and surprising juxtapositions. He was a member of the teams that won the Pulitzer Prizes for photography in 2002: one for Breaking News Photography for coverage of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the other for Feature Photography for documenting the pain and perseverance of people enduring protracted conflict in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He has been on assignments worldwide, including five Olympics and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Whether he is photographing the war in Afghanistan, chronicling the ravages of pollution in China or delighting in the Olympics in Sydney, Nagano or Beijing, Chang W. Lee takes lyrical and poetic pictures. He believes that everyone has a story to tell and that every story, no matter how painful, contains beauty.
