Ann Arbor – For most of last year, David Turnley, the Pulitzer Prize-winning war photographer, was behind the scenes with Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh and his football team, documenting his first season.
Turnley, like Harbaugh, is a Michigan alum, and he has always loved football. Harbaugh gave him complete access to the program, and Turnley, an associate professor of documentary photography at Michigan, shot 70,000 images with his trusty old Leica.
Harbaugh and Turnley have co-authored “Enthusiasm Unknown to Mankind,” a coffee-table book that features more than 300 black-and-white photographs and also Harbaugh’s work as a writer.
