This slideshow was done by Lynsey Addario and is a collection of photographs of orphans and babies in Haiti. This is an excellent slide show. Technically, it follows all of the rules we discussed in class. The photos, for the most part, follow the rule of thirds, and there are a variety of distances in the shots. And the best part, in my opinion, is how Addario captured emotion so well in her photographs. One thing that makes this slideshow unique is that Addario narrates the photographs instead of providing cutlines. I like that; even though each story can tell its story on its own, it was interesting to hear some background on each of the photos.
"It was just an incredible scene to see life being born into destruction."
This slide show made me really sad to see all of the destruction of Haiti. The children without homes, the families living in tents, are all horrible things, but those living it understand that this is their life. Like the mother with the new child, she understood that it was what it was and she was going to be happy with it.
