_Today’s daily Photojournalism Links collection highlights Alec Soth’s series from Georgia, which is part of a long-term collaboration the photographer has had with writer Brad Zellar. The pair have previously made trips to six U.S. states, and published the same number of tabloids, each dedicated to one of the states visited. Soth and Zellar have a distinctive — somewhat eccentric, yet empathetic — way of seeing things as this work, which is said to be the last tabloid they’ll produce together, demonstrates._
