NPPA: Best of Photojournalism 2007: Web Site Winners:

2nd Place: “After the Earthquake”; Time Asia; In After the Earthquake, photographer John Stanmeyer documents the loss and destruction that follows the richter scale 6.2 offshore earthquake that kills thousands and leaves an estimated 1.5 million people homeless in Central Java. For days after the earthquake, people search for belongings, mourn their dead, and struggle to pull together what’s left of their lives. Stanmeyer captures all this with compassion and empathy.
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.
