| Don Bartletti
has been a staff photographer with Los Angeles
Times since 1983 and is the 2003 Pulitzer
Prize winner for Feature Photography. He was
awarded the Pulitzer for a 6-part series that
documents the perilous journey of Central
American youths traveling north to the United
States. These photos are the most recent chapter
in Bartletti’s long-term focus on the
dynamics of immigration from Latin America
to the U.S. Besides publication in the Los
Angeles Times, images from this 20-year body
of work on immigration have been exhibited
in museums across the United States and in
Mexico, including the San Diego Museum of
Photographic Arts, the International Center
of Photography in New York, the Smithsonian
Institute, the Ellis Island Museum, and a
solo show at the Oakland Museum of California.
In a career that spans 3 decades, Bartletti
has covered events ranging from the Academy
Awards to the Olympics to the recent wars
in Afghanistan and Iraq. He has also received
the Grand Prize in the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism
Awards, the Polk Award, the Scripps-Howard
Foundation National Journalism Award, the
Sidney Hillman Foundation Award, the Ruben
Salazar Award, and awards from the National
Press Photographers Association, Pictures
Of The Year International, World Press Photo,
National Association of Hispanic Journalists,
and the Inter American Press Association.
