Description of Pictures: 'PICTURES OF THE YEAR' OPENS APRIL 22 AT THE NEWSEUM
WASHINGTON — On April 22, 2011, the Newseum will open "Pictures of the Year," a new exhibit that showcases dramatic, award-winning images of the people, events and issues that shaped the world in 2010. The display features nearly 70 of the year's best news images from Pictures of the Year International, the oldest photojournalism contest in the world.
The exhibit spotlights gripping photos of flood-ravaged Pakistan, earthquake-torn Haiti, the Gulf Coast oil spill and troops on the front lines of the war in Afghanistan. Triumph and beauty are captured in images depicting athletes competing at the 2010 Winter Olympics, tigers prowling the jungles of India and penguins frolicking on Antarctic ice. Even Lady Gaga makes an appearance — her first in a Washington museum.
The competition's top awards honor the Newspaper Photographer of the Year and Freelance/Agency Photographer of the Year, as well as photographs that contribute to community awareness, global vision and world understanding. The exhibit includes QR codes that link to first-person accounts from the top award-winning photographers about their images.
"Pictures are an important part of the Newseum experience," said Charles L. Overby, chairman and chief executive officer of the Newseum. "The Pictures of the Year exhibit will be an exciting addition to the Newseum."
On Saturday, April 30, some of the top photographers from the competition will take part in Photo Day at the Newseum, offering professional advice to visitors and revealing the stories behind their photographs. Families can explore the museum's seven levels in a photo scavenger hunt, take a close-up look at historic cameras from the Newseum's collection and attend a special "Inside Media" program featuring the award-winning photographers.
The exhibit was created in cooperation with Pictures of the Year International, a program of the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute at the Missouri Scho ...More...

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. NEWPOY_110420_001.JPG: Pictures of the Year The earthquake in Haiti. The Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Thrills and chills at the Winter Olympics. When news broke last year, photojournalists were there to document the events, issues and personalities that shaped our world. This exhibition showcases some of the best news photography of 2010 from Pictures of the Year International, the oldest photojournalism contest in the world. Top awards recognize Newspaper Photographer of the Year and Freelance/Agency Photographer of the Year, as well as photographs that contribute to community awareness, global vision and world understanding. Judges reviewed nearly 50,000 entries and picked winners in 44 categories. For six decades, newspaper and magazine photographers have competed in this annual contest started in 1944 by Cliff Edom, the University of Missouri professor who coined the term "photojournalism."

12. NEWPOY_110420_044.JPG: Sports: The 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, dominated sports headlines early last yaer, as athletes from around the world competed for coveted gold medals. But great moments happen in smaller arenas, too -- from a competition for disabled swimmers in the Czech Republic to the Youth Olympics in Singapore.
13. NEWPOY_110420_047.JPG: Adam Pretty, Getty Images First Place, Sports Portfolio, Award of Excellence, Sports Action Brazil's loran Etchechury trips and falls headfirst into a water hazard during a steeplechase event at the 2010 Youth Olympics in Singapore.
14. NEWPOY_110420_051.JPG: Global Vision Award: Freelance photographer Steve Winter: Freelance photographer Steve Winter received the Global Vision Award, which honors work that explores issues related to the environment, natural history of science. Winter's winning photo essay, which ran in National Geographic magazine, focused on big-game wildlife in the shrinking wilderness of India's Kaziranga National Park. Winter chronicles the efforts of park rangers to protect endangered animals from poachers, especially the Indian one-horned rhinoceros, which had been hunted to near-extinction. This young tiger triggered one of the photographer's remote cameras. Tigers live in relative safety in Kaziranga National Park because poachers prefer to target the Indian one-horned rhinoceroses that also live there. The rhino's horn, prized for medicinal powers, is valuable on the black market.
15. NEWPOY_110420_056.JPG: At far right, an aggressive rhinoceros defends his territory in the crowded national park by charging toward the photographer's Jeep.
16. NEWPOY_110420_062.JPG: Freelance/Agency Photographer of the Year Adrees Latif, Reuters Adrees Latif, chief photographer in Pakistan for the Reuters news agency, was honored as Freelance/Agency Photographer of the Year. Latif documented the floods that displaced 4 million people in Pakistan in the summer of 2010, as well as conflicts in other countries. Latif also was honored in the competition's General News Picture Story category. In 2008, he received a Pulitzer Prize for his dramatic image of a Japanese photographer killed by troops in Burma.

20. NEWPOY_110420_095.JPG: Disaster: Photojournalists captured the destruction of disasters both natural and man-made in 2010. Two powerful volcanoes erupted on opposite sides of the world: in Iceland in April and in Indonesia in October. A 7.0-magnitude earthquake rocked Haiti on Jan. 12, killing more than 300,000 people and leaving more than 1 million homeless. An explosion ripped through British Petroleum's Deepwater Horizon oil well in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, causing the largest offshore oil spill in history.

35. NEWPOY_110420_173.JPG: Human Struggle: Human struggle comes in many forms, from the grief of a Chinese couple whose only child has been stolen to the grueling daily labor of an Indian rickshaw puller. Spanish photographer Fernando Moleres won the competition's prestigious World Understanding Award for his photos of boys held in adult prisons in Sierra Leone. Many boys became lost in the prison system, their locations unknown to family members.
36. NEWPOY_110420_176.JPG: Athit Perawongmetha, Freelance First Place, Spot News Award of Excellence, Issue Reporting Picture Story -- Freelance/Agency An anti-government protester in Bangkok tosses a tire onto a burning truck.

46. NEWPOY_110420_227.JPG: Life in the Wild: The wonders of animal behavior captivated photographers last year -- from a young kinkajou slurping the nectar of a balsa flower in Panama to the nightly exodus of millions of bats from a cave in Texas. Threats to animals make news -- from horses fleeing a volcano in Iceland to penguins clinging to eroding sea ice in Antarctica.

2011 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs camera as well as two Nikon models -- the D90 and the new D7000. Mostly a toy, I also purchased a Fuji Real 3-D W3 camera, to try out 3-D photographs. I found it interesting although I don't see any real use for 3-D stills now. Given that many of the photos from the 1860s were in 3-D (including some of the more famous Civil War shots), it's odd to see it coming back. Trips this year: Civil War Trust conferences (Savannah, GA, Chattanooga, TN), New Jersey over Memorial Day for my birthday (people never seem to visit New Jersey -- it's always just a pit stop on the way to New York. I thought I might as well spend a few days there. Despite some nice places, it still ended up a pit stop for me -- New York City was infinitely more interesting), my 6th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Francisco). Ego strokes: Author photos that I took were used on two book jackets this year: Jason Emerson's book "The Dark Days of Abraham Lincoln's Widow As Revealed by Her Own Letters" and Dennis L. Noble's "The U.S. Coast Guard's War on Human Smuggling." I also had a photo of Jason Stelter published in the Washington Examiner and a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. Number of photos taken this year: just over 390,000.
