AJC Staff Photos of the Year, 2011-- John Spink
I began my day before dawn learning where all the hard hit areas were from the April 28 tornado. We had already dispatched a reporter to Ringgold so I chose the next worst area. I spent a good deal of time with business owners as they sifted through their destroyed businesses in Sunny Side. When the dawn broke, so did Jason Miller owner of Sunnyside RV & Truck Sales who was devastated as he spoke about the $1.5 million of inventory he lost. I could only tell him I was sorry for his loss. John Spink jspink@ajc.com
