Why Nashville is a Great Place to Study Photography

Nashville, Tennessee, is the cultural capital of the South. Heck, it's the capital as far as anybody's concerned who loves Elvis, Dolly, Willie, Cash, and the rest of the good ole' boys, not to mention the bright new stars of the country scene. And with that music and entertainment comes the people who have to package it, sell it, report on it, and record and analyze it visually it for posterity—the photographers.
