Utility workers survey storm damage along Cothran Road, Wednesday, May 8, 2024, in Columbia, Tenn. (AP Photo/George Walker IV) Click once to enlarge.
Blogfinger obtained this remarkable AP photograph from this morning’s edition (5/9/24) of NewsNation. The photographer is George Walker IV.
The article is about deadly tornadoes slamming into southeast USA.
Photographically, the striking use of light and color adds drama to the scene. But a photograph usually doesn’t tell the whole story of a news event, and photojournalists never stage an image.
Pulitzer Prizes are awarded for news photographs. This one is deserving.
