Sergeant Missick has some great pictures - one of an antennae against the skyline is beautiful - http://www.missick.com/missickpictures.htm - unfortunately, the pics don't have individual links.
Doc in the Box (Dustman) has a photoblog - http://dustmans.fotopages.com/
Lt Currie at Turning Point has some great pics -
http://currierd.typepad.com/photos/if_not_for_the_children_t/children_mem1.html and here's a great one he took of his pal Thunder Six - http://currierd.typepad.com/photos/the_turning_point/happiness.html
Speaking of Thunder Six - here's his shots of Iraq - http://thunder6.typepad.com/photos/panoramas/index.html
Great idea, Hawk! These guys have talent!!! Pulitzers all around (plus the 10k could buy a lot of beer)...

Lance in Iraq has many pictures, any of which could beat the AP's. Just go scroll:

Too many of them show happy Iraqi children, so I guess they wouldn't meet the Pulizer standards.

Here are some of my photos from Camp Bucca when I was deployed there early in the war:

Any votes for hot Lebanese protesters?

The bottom one may not be the prettiest picture but I think that it's the best photograph. There are some really interesting things going on with perspective.

Cheers for Malkin, BlackFive and Mudville!
Taking that total negative and making it positive is outstanding.

It's amazing what you can find in the middle of the desert now-a-days.

Where is the anti-American sentiment? To get a Pulitzer or Nobel Prize you must show contempt or hatred for America and American beliefs. These guys all fail.

A big thank you to all of you for putting this together. Now, I am a little predisposed to vote (if I had one) for any military photographer as opposed to any offering from the agenda-driven MSM.
Thank all of you, writers, readers, and contributors, for your service to our country and the cause of freedom.

I posted these over at B5s but he busted my chops and wanted me to post them here which I'll gladly do. Without the snark even! heh!
Since Papa Ray outed my little semi-communication fotopage with Da Grunt from his last deployment it's OK to put it out there now:
http://jarheaddad.fotopages.com/
Just be aware that this was a personal thing that we were using to communicate with each other so there's some good ol' boring family stuff on the site. Mixed in with about 300 pics from OIF2 and the 2/2 Warlords.
Two of my favorites are one of Da Grunt with a truckload of 800lb aerial bombs that the boys snuck up on:
http://shw.fotopages.com/1734691/Lookie-what-we-found.html
And the second is an amazing look at some Warlords as they were just about to go into battle in the 1st Battle of Fallujah. Their faces tell the story:
http://shw.fotopages.com/2686361.html
There is also a pic of a young Iraqi that the guys trained and served with. Unfortunately he was killed in an ambush that the guys came under but he is the face of Iraq and would make a better choice than that garbage that was chosen for the Pulitzer:
http://shw.fotopages.com/2686304.html
There are literally thousands of pics out there that are so much better than the one chosen it's not even funny. It would be nice to have one or two from each site placed somewhere where we could look at them. Now that would be cool!

I'm submitting these photos, which are very dear to my heart. Jeremiah Savage was my nephew and these were photos taken at a memorial ceremony in his honor after he was killed. Please consider these.
Thank you.

Mudville, thanks for listing my photos!! If you're putting together an Album of Iraq photos, maybe you can put together an album of Afghanistan photos. Here's a link to a blog entry I wrote specifically about this piece: http://thenationalguardexperience.blogspot.com/2005/04/shameless-advertisement.html

Sorry boys. These photos SUCK! My prediction: Two years hence the Pulitzer Prize for photography will go to the guy who snaps the pic of the last American personell boarding choppers and fleeing the Green Zone as the jihadis sweep into Baghdad and kick the crusaders out. Enjoy!

Stop the presses! The P-Prize for lamest Troll comment ever is hereby awarded to the above. The comment shall remain here forever enshrined. Please, don't anyone try to top this. The judge has spoken.

All these pics are great, but this one is hands down the best I've seen:
Shiite Woman Voter
That's what it's all about, folks.

The blog 'In Iraq for 365' is by an Army journalist who recently returned from deployment. He's got some great pictures on this link here. (Scroll Down) They're definitely more pulitzer worthy than the associated press photos.

I don't know if they're pulitzer worthy, but here's some my dad took while he was in Kirkuk:

Greyhawk-
The video on John's site wasn't really done by the PA's office- it was done by MSGT. Keith Johnson, in Kabul, on his own time, and using pictures he has taken plus those of other guys on his base in Kabul. He's in the 'Stan, just like everybody else....and takes some awesome pix. My fav? The picture of the little girl with the dirty face and red dress. He has another one of her opening a lollipop which is just precious.

You left out this one

I hate to be a party-pooper, but I think the photos have to be taken in 2004. Thus, all the great Iraqi voter pictures would not qualify until ~next~ year. (Kind of like the Academy Awards.)
Still and all, the AP could have chosen differently...

Those are beautiful, deeply moving photos. You've got my vote.
By the way, Joe Rosenthal received a Pulitzer Prize for his photo of the flag raising on Iwo Jima. Not so likely today.

Most of my time was 5 miles up, but have a few to add anyway:

Check out Delobious http://bl0g.delobi.us/ Blog-Machine-City. He takes some fantastic photos. Most are more artistic than military, but he takes a good pic.

You can check out some of my pics from BIAP (Aug-Oct 03) and Incirlik (Feb-June 02) at this site:
http://homepage.mac.com/sayersr/PhotoAlbum7.html
I think my favorite picture that I took over there was taken at 10,000 ft AGL from the back of a Pave Hawk (I know you don't hear that too often!) with my feet sticking out towards BIAP. I didn't post it for security reasons, but I did post one from the same flight of my feet pointing straight down.
