A new citizen votes

http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2008/02/10/nyregion/thecity/20080210_VOTER_SLIDESHOW_index.html These eight photos walk you through 83 year old Matilde Ospina's first time voting as an American citizen. In class we talked a little about immigrants and voting, and this is that idea carried out. Not all the pictures were impressive, and I think it may have been interesting if NYT could have made the project a little bigger/looked at more people's lives. Also, this project seems like it easily could have had sound. It would have been a stronger piece if Ospina talked about her experience.They had a good idea, but the execution was not great.
