Pictures are bigger and better than ever, thanks to the efforts of all the photographers, photo editors and Director of Photography Peter Koeleman. The Star Tribune has a long history of excellent documentary photography, and in 2006 our standing was enhanced by several important national awards. Jim Gehrz was named Newspaper Photographer of the Year by the Minnesota News Photographers Association; this is the fifth time he has received this honor. Jim also received the Henri Nannen Prize (Germany) for his photos of the soldier, Jessica Clements. Brian Peterson's Best of Show Award from the Minnesota News Photographers Association and Richard Sennott's first place award in the Pictures of the Year International
