Photographer Kim Walker is leaving us to pursue an master's degree in photojournalism at the Visual Communications School at Ohio University.
You're familiar with her work even if you don't recognize her name. She's shot just about everything in Randolph, Rockingham and Guilford counties. She's even traveled to China to shoot photos of the growing furniture trade there. She's won our in-house photo excellence award twice.
The judge in this year's contest said it best about her. What set Kim's portfolio apart was the picture story of the Mexican workers. It was beautifylly photographed with passion, dedication, and strong composition. I could feel that she really cared about the subjects that she photographed.
