In my economics classes, we've been talking a lot about how population growth affects the world. This project, part of the United Nations Population Fund, combines music, captions and photographs in a 2 minute presentation to show the pros and cons and plug the UN's book (State of World Population 2007) to viewers.
I thought many of the pictures were powerful and it was interesting to see that the entire piece ran exactly 2 minutes, which is around the length we all agreed wasn't too long or too short.

Crane Crash
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/15/nyregion/15cnd-crane.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
This article has several powerful photos that captured the moments when the buidling in nyc crashed. Photos were taken from various places that created different point of views. Crashed cars and people's face impressions were powerful enough to explain the terrible moments. Although, I wanted to see more close-up photos of people and the firefighters.

Art of Shoes

This is a multimedia piece from NYT. Each photos contained uniquity of shoes on the street and this totally created enough variety. Some of the photos were shaky and the focus wasn't great, but seeing specially designed shoes was good enough eye-pleasure for the audience.

'Girl Power'
I highly recommend checking out these sites, two photo collectives made up solely of many award winning female photographers documenting a vast array of topics:

The Week.
I saw this "week in photos" on the Mail&Guardian website. I thought it was a really well put together gallery. It should both the light-heartedness and tragedy that swept the world, and South Africa in particular, this past week. I think my favorite photos were of Hillary Clinton--the photographer just really caught this burst of childlike joy on her usual poker face, oh and also, the photo of the Iraqi municipality--the composition was really profound.

Post 4: Gregory Heisler
http://gregoryheisler.com/
In class, Prof. Handschuh brought up Heisler. This is a link to his webpage. He has many different categories (quiet, vibrant, simple, dynamic, strange, contextual, timecovers, banjoists and others) But even within each category, each image really shows something different from the last. It was interesting to see how he chose to show people in the portraits (sitting, standing, with props, etcetera...) And how he used light and color. I especially liked his pictures that are outdoors with the sky (mostly in the contextual group). In "other" he shows abstract photographs that show the liberties a photographer can take.
It was inspirational flipping through his work.
