its a great essay, but the length of time the shot is displayed for being dependant on the time there is commentary means some great shots skip over in 3 seconds. It took me a while to find the pause button, any chance of making it bigger / giving keyboard control (i.e pressing the space bar pauses the sideshow)?

Hi Martin, another very good essay, amazing photography and also interesting information to go along. From how Jonas Bendiksen talks about his work and himself, he comes across as a nice guy, I enjoyed listening to what he has to say. I liked the intro, the TV-shots of space stuff in between and how Jonas kept talking during the credits - which might make people actually read the credits... ;) A couple of things which might be improved: I think picture #7 is displayed not long enough, once you have absorbed the spoken info and can really focus on the photo it's already gone. I think it would be better if the picture remained a little longer after he has stopped talking. Also, when I clicked on the little arrow in the top left, it just disappeared instead of showing written info as in the former essays. I would like to say I always enjoy these multimedia essays, great work MIM team! Keep them coming! :)

New Magnum Photos Feature: Satellites by Jonas Bendiksen Magnum In Motion, the department of Magnum Photos which is responsible for Magnums interactive essays, has launched a new multimedia essay today. Satellites, by Jonas Bendiksen, is a photographic journey through the scattered enclaves, unrecognized mini-states, and other isolated communities that straddle the southern borderlands of the former USSR. Jonas Bendiksen interned at the Magnum Photos London office when he was 19. After his internship he moved to Russia for several years to work on his own photographic projects. He is a Magnum nominee since 2004... His photographies are colorful, well composed and honest. We used 44 of his images together with his voice and some sound to put together this multimedia essay. This combination still makes this new sort of features very unique and interesting to watch. The actual interview with him lasted over an hour. It was very interesting to hear him speak about these regions and his work as a photographer. You can also view Bendiksens website here or a selection of his work at the Magnum Photos website here. To see an overview of all interactive essays produced by Magnum In Motion up to now visit their website here. Let me know what you think of this story and if you've got any suggestions for improvement. We are constantly trying to improve our work. See the archives for all Magnum Photos related postings by me. Posted by Martin Fuchs on August 1, 2005 06:44 PM
