Subscribe to RSSAP and the photojournalism community lost a gifted photographer and a mentor to many. I met Ed Reinke in Cincinnati where I got my first job right out of college. He was a great sports photographer, but also covered his community and Kentucky with a sensitive eye.

AP has created a Facebook page with more of Reinke's photos.
