Week in Pictures

http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2008/02/01/nyregion/20080202_WEEKINPICTURES_SLIDESHOW_index.html

This presentation showed the range of New York City's people, activities and lifestyles with 12 photos. Rather than having a narrator or stream of voices, it had captions to the side. After sifting through projects this week, I've decided I prefer watching multimedia projects with sound. But I think in this case (because each picture told something different from the next) captions made more sense.

The photographer succesfully captures the action and life of everyday New York, which is what I tried to do for the St. Marks assignment.

I am new to multimedia-making and this slideshow gave me some ideas for where to start. And it showed me how just a few pictures can tell a big story.
