NPPA: Best of Photojournalism 2007: Web Site Winners:

Place: “Indonesia's Aftershock”; Time Asia; An offshore earthquake measuring 6.2 on the richter scale had rocked the Indonesian city of Yogjakarta and its surrounding districts shortly after dawn. Hundreds of thousands of homes were flattened within a minute, burying sleeping families. Nearly 6000 people were killed with tens of thousands more injured and an estimated 1.5 million left homeless. Starting from the moment of impact, Jufri worked tirelessly. Over the next few days, he captured the destruction and loss during the days, and transmitted pictures through the nights. Through Jufri’s eyes, we see the horror, devastation, and grief, but we also see the heroism and perseverance of a community struggling to pull through.
Comments (Richard Koci Hernandez): All of these galleries had the strongest representation of photojournalism and light in devastating and tragic situations. The images in each package worked well as a series and each can stand on its own. It was difficult for the judges to give them an order. Cold Mountians rose to the top for its tightly edited images and visual variety. Outstanding reporting in all pieces. The TIME design is simple and does not compete with the content. Very clean design that helps the pictures speak.
