Honorable Mentions

Rich Beauchesne
Portsmouth (N.H.) Herald
Tad (left) and Eric Stoorza of Saranac Lake, N.Y., welcome a cool rain on June 27 at Odiorne State Park in Rye, N.H., where they finished a 2,760-mile bicycle journey. The pair pedaled for 38 days to raise money to fight Lou Gehrig's Disease.

Bob Hammerstrom
The Telegraph, Nashua, N.H.
A suspect is led away from an apartment house in Milford, N.H., on June 17 after a four-hour standoff with police. He was wanted on a warrant for stalking.

Evans:

"A perfectly inattentive driver made for a dramatic T-bone crash that was easy enough to shoot, thanks to the police chief adding a human element. The elements came together quickly and I was off to another assignment."
