NPPA: Best of Photojournalism 2006: Still Photography Winners: Cliff Edom's "New America Award"

1st Place: "The Town That Loves Refugees" : A small American town, Asian freedom fighters, Somali ‘slaves’ and survivors of the ‘killing fields’; 1, 2, 3, 4 ... 24 >; Downtown Utica has a forlorn and weary look, especially in the depths of winter when vicious winds howl through empty lots, whipping up snow drifts many feet deep and temperatures plunge to unimaginable depths. Some residential districts became so dangerous during the town’s decline that the National Guard was called out to demolish unstable structures.
