Behind the Pulitzer of the Day: When Denver Post photographer Craig F. Walker won the Pulitzer Prize for feature photography on Monday, his boss managed to sneak his subject, Scott Ostrom, into the newsroom for the announcement. But Ostrom had something to celebrate, as well: The Iraq war vet had just learned that the Department of Veterans Affairs finally officially recognized his PTSD, which was at the center of Walker’s award-winning project, called “Welcome Home.”

“This story has definitely saved at least one guy’s life so far,” Ostrom says.

Powerful story.

Lost And Found of the Day: Peter Govaars recently stumbled upon the husk of a long lost digital camera on a beach in California, and managed to retrieve the photos from the memory card by cleaning its circuit board with isopropyl alcohol. He then uploaded the four-year-old pics to Flickr in hopes of finding the owner of the camera.

And, thanks to the power of the Net, find her he did: A Brownsville, Texas teen (above, second from left) was visiting relatives from Seaside who took her to see Santa Cruz, where she dropped the camera into the Pacific while photographing a sea lion by the wharf.

“The little girl who lost it…she’s totally stoked,” Govaars told the Santa Cruz Sentinel. “She’s telling all her friends on Facebook.”

Oh interwebs. So is this like a 21st century note in a bottle?

These DIY invitations made from recycled film canisters are so stinking cute.
