NPPA: Best of Photojournalism 2007: Web Site Winners:

1st Place: “Between Curtain and Crescent”; Time Asia; Home to some of the most stunning monuments in the Islamic world, Uzbekistan strikes an uneasy balance between religious devotion and totalitarianism, as disappearances and arrests persist, and fear weighs on its people. In Between Curtain and Crescent, photographer Yuri Kozyrev beautifully captures the religious fervour and the gentle pulse of the people, documenting daily life under an oppressive regime.
Comments (Regina McCombs): Time Asia did beautiful work on the first two stories – both stunning looks at changes going on in Asia. Beautiful images, good editing. Beneath the Surface is a charming look at playing under the water. The photography for all three galleries was wonderful. And it was a heck of a week in Roanoke that week! We would have liked to see the galleries go further in telling us a story, as the larger market did.
