Living Galápagos

Friends, please take a minute to check out the latest Carolina Photojournalism Workshop project, "Rooted in the Rapids." It tells the story of the people and culture in the Roanoke River Valley of North Carolina through 15 beautiful short films. I'm proud of our student producers and alumni coaches, these projects represent a ton of time and effort for all of us. This is the 13th year of CPJW, and along with the films this year's site contains links to all past projects. Shoutout to the all who have helped make CPJW great over the years!
