Southern Contrasts – Photojournalist David Turnley looks at the South

According to the blurb, David Turnley spent six weeks and 8,000 miles looking at how the south has changed – or remained the same – 40 years after the Civil Rights movement started.

Arm Wrestling

During our UGA Weekend Photojournalism Workshop we heard many of the editors cajoling us to use longer lens, to get away from the wide angle zooms and explore the beauty of the 70-200 mm lens.
