Requiem in Samba by Alex Majoli

When I saw this for the first time over a year and a half ago, I was taken-- it is a hauntingly beautiful piece shot and narrated by its photographer, Alex Majoli. I know we had discussions about using audio clips of the people in the photos, but somehow this one works amazingly well without any of that. At about the twenty-fifth slide, he gives his personal account of how and why he became a photographer... and on the twenty-sixth slide, absolutely nails a great point down about what being a photographer is, for himself personally.
