After coming back some days ago i was going through my RSS reader and with the biggest amount of stuff not so important to not be missed, i also found some pearls. One of these pearls is this beautiful while simple audioslideshow/photofilm by Eric Johnson about New York’s biggest men’s homeless shelter. The beauty for me comes for me because of three things. First, the compelling images that give you a deep feel for the shelter. Eric stayed some nights there to get a feel for that and for me that is shown in his pictures. Getting close pays off always. Second, the audio quality is amazing, really organic, alive, a lot of history captured. This is really something where i work on a lot to get better and pieces like that show me that it is 100% worth it to learn more and more on that. And third, the pure simplicity of the whole piece. Giving the power to the voice of Carl Foye, a powerful yet unobtrusive soundscape, sticking to the pure power of pictures and a clear storyline with a powerful and surprising ending, this all makes it classic and powerful at the same time. A great piece no one who is interested in multimedia productions should miss.

Thanks to Benjamin over at duckrabbit for pointing that out. And now enjoy this piece.
