Will Yurman of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle turned a daily assignment covering a memorial service into a year-long project exploring the lives behind the statistics. To create Not Forgotten, last year he visited the families of every homicide victim and created short multimedia portraits of those who had been killed.

One good thing about living in Rochester, New York is that all the homicides fit in a single flash window. But bravo for imagining the people behind the numbers and chasing down every story.
