Carolyn Cole’s shelves are getting cluttered. With a Pulitzer Prize, a Robert Capa Gold Medal, more Pictures of the Year International awards than you can shake a stick at and three National Press Photographers Association Photojournalist of the Year awards, she has to be running out of room to store her awards.Cole, a staff photographer for the Los Angeles Times , was named NPPA Photojournalist of the Year last week for the third time in the past five years. Her portfolio from this year includes striking photos of everything from the Israel-Hezbollah conflict to riots during the Haitian presidential election to New Orleans’s recovery from Hurricane Katrina to the genocide in Darfur.

A number of her striking photos can be found on the NPPA website here. You’ll also find photos from the Second Place winner: Tyler Hicks (voted Newspaper Photographer of the Year by POYi in 2007); Third Place winner: Spencer Platt (winner of the World Press Photo Award); and Honorable Mention: Michael Macor (voted Newspaper Photographer of the Year by POYi in 2005).
