NOLITA — From Haiti to Harlem, a collection of the year's best photojournalism is going on display at a NoLiTa gallery.

The New York Press Photographers Association's "Year in Pictures" exhibit showcases the top 200 photos from 2010 selected from more than 2,000 entries from members of the organization, which has been supporting professional news photographers since 1913.

Winners were selected by a panel of judges including former Time Magazine director of photography MaryAnne Golon, Washington Post staff photographer Jonathan Newton, and Pulitzer Prize-winning former director of photography for the Dallas Morning News, William Snyder.

The 76th annual contest also includes video taken by members that was broadcast online.

The show runs at the Openhouse Gallery, 201 Mulberry St. (between Spring & Kenmare) from Sept. 15 - 18, from 12 noon - 8 p.m.
