Photographer’s Showcase: The Fall of the Berlin Wall

Posted by Lucaites in no caption needed, photographer's showcase

This week we feature a CBS report that celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the fall of Berlin Wall by drawing upon the work and reminiscences of photojournalist (and longtime friend of NCN) Peter Turnley.  Click on the image to view the video, or click here to read his column on the fall of the Wall at the Digital Journalist and here to see a stunning gallery of his photographs that includes both the fall of the Wall and the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia.
