MHS Grad - Kim Komenich worked as a staff photographer and editor for the San Francisco Chronicle (2000-2009) and the San Francisco Examiner (1982-2000.) He was awarded the 1987 Pulitzer Prize in Spot News Photography for photographs of the Philippine Revolution he made while on assignment for the Examiner. Komenich has photographed the ramifications of conflict in the Philippines, Vietnam, El Salvador, the former Soviet Union and most recently in Iraq, where photos from his three trips to the Sunni Triangle in 2005 earned him the Military Reporters and Editors Associations 2006 Photography Award for large circulation newspapers. He has received the 1987 Distinguished Service Award from the Society of Professional Journalists, the 1981 World Press Photo News Picture Story Award, and three National Headliner Awards. *I also read that he attended Modesto Junior College - and so did George Lucas... You may remember when he Foiled an Attempted Bank Robbery With a Bear Hug in San Jose - in April 2010. Fun to GOOGLE and read about him and his Father, too! (Kim is on Facebook)
