This is very nice. I like it that you aren't making a mediacircus of it, but respect the people who you photographed. James thinks, but I know for sure that you'll go far!!! So keep going on with the good stuff!

Great work - I thought the sound and pictures worked really well together. I did find the pictures ran by a little quickly at times leaving not enough time to both read the description and appreciate the image but I can always play it again. Regards - Martin

so, habs mir 2 mal angesehen, insgesamt find ichs sehr gut gelungen, wirklich! einige fotos "funktionieren" natürlich nur in dieser serie, aber es sind auch ein paar richtig gute einzelfotos dabei. die sounduntermalung ist super, da wird viel von der atmosphäre transportiert, ich meine auch die geräusche, nicht nur die menschen. die stimme sind aber schon sehr beeindruckend, die frauen die die namen verlesen und die frau die über ihren sohn erzählt. ein paar kleine kritikpunkte: manchmal wechseln die bilder ziemlich schnell und man hat kaum zeit, den text darunter zu lesen. beim zweiten mal anschauen habe ich zwischendurch auf andere chapters geklickt und dann war der ton nicht mehr ganz synchron mit den bildern, der ton war dann schon 4 oder 5 bilder vor schluß aus. bei #33 ist glaube ich der text unvollständig. ok, und daß das ganze leicht "pathetisch" ist, wie du selbst schreibst, ist wohl nicht zu vermeiden, so schlimm ist es aber nicht IMO. nur die fanfaren am anfang sind mir vielleicht zu viel...

Great feature Martin - this will stand the test of time. As well as working as a story, there are lots of strong individual images in there too.

Multimedia Gallery: Four Years Later - 9/11 Commemoration

New Multimedia Gallery online: Four Years Later - 9/11 Commemoration
A little over a month ago I went to photograph the commemoration event of the attacks on the World Trade Center at Ground Zero.

I arrived at Ground Zero at 07:30 a.m. on the morning of September 11th and stayed until 11:00 p.m. Not to photograph the official ceremony where about 640 siblings of those who died read the names of the 2.749 victims but to photograph the people who came to Lower Manhattan to mourn and remember.
It was an intense and from time to time touching day. This gallery might seem a little pathetic but that's how I experienced this day.

In addition to taking photographs I also recorded sound with my little Mini Disc player. It was not the first time I recorded sound but it's the first time I actually use it. Inspired by Magnum In Motion, MSNBC, The New York Times and some other websites who already build multimedia galleries for certain topics and stories, combining photographs with sound, I decided that it's time for me to do the same thing. I just think that sound and in this case original sound recorded the same day and the same place adds another dimension to a set of photographs.

I had to learn how to use sound editing software and had a hard time to tune the sound for the photographs. But the biggest part of the work for this multimedia gallery did a great friend of mine...
To make this project happen I needed somebody to help me out with the Flash programming. Me and Flash... Forget it. As so often my friend agreed to help me out and not only build the Flash file for it but he build a template which I can easily use again for other multimedia stories without the need to programm in Flash. Man, thanks a lot for this!

The complete feature takes 5 minutes and 32 seconds to view. If you do not have Flash installed or have a very slow internet connection you are also able to view the photographs as an HTML gallery by following the link at the bottom of the pop up.
Any comments and feedback on this multimedia gallery are highly appreciated. To see the other galleries I created (without sound) check out the Photosets section.
