Saigon, South Vietnam, 1 February 1968. South Vietnam national police chief Nguyen Ngoc Loan executes a suspected Viet Cong member.
About the image -- World Press Photo of the Year: 1968
Drawn by gunfire, Adams watched South Vietnamese soldiers bring a Viet Cong captive to a street corner, where he assumed he would be interrogated. Instead, Loan strode up, wordlessly drew a pistol and executed him. Years later, Adams found himself so defined and haunted by the picture that he wouldn't display it in his studio.
