ATLANTA (AP) - A beaming Ted Turner studied the bright, penetrating portraits of Middle Easterners on display at an art gallery with special pride: They were photographed by his son Rhett.
Rhett Turner traveled to Libya in 2004-05 and to Yemen earlier this year to shoot the ancient landscapes and friendly people for "An Ear to the Ground." The exhibit at Atlanta's Lowe Gallery opened Friday night and will run through Oct. 20.
"The more we know about cultures we don't understand, the more we know they're a lot like us," Rhett Turner, 41, said, adding he hoped peace would eventually prevail in the region.
