Here’s my pick for this week. Pesticides

Her’s my pick for this week… I know a lot of us saw it in Kratochvil’s workshop this weekend, but I really liked it and think it’s worth posting. None of the sound was recorded on sight wich may be an ethical concern, but I think as a whole it’s inspiring to me to see the different ways multimedia can be used: Click on ROAD WORK

The Sniper by Guardian writer and photographer Declan Walsh is an audio slide show of his 10 days with a small troop of American soldiers deep in the Afghan mountains in 2006. Although there is no ambient sound or interviews from the time, his good images and his narration reminded me of the kind you would hear in an audio book, and i got quite involved in the piece because he is a good story teller.

Hey dudes, sorry for the late post. “On both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, rappers are the voice of a new generation whose weapons are music and lyrics.” To see it go here and then scroll down a little, “Hip-Hop from Israel and Palestine” is the one at the cross between the third row and the second column. Click there and a new window with the piece will come out. This is a work by Alexandra Boulat.

Here’s my audio slide show for this week: The Other Oil Shock. It’s about how “shortages and soaring prices for palm oil, soybean oil and other types of vegetable oils are the latest, most striking example of a developing global problem: costly food.”

Here’s my pick for the week: A Quiet Night’s Menace

I wanted to share this slideshow I put up for Ruben. Happy birthday man! Guess what…you’re 30 next year!

This is my entry for this week. It’s a piece on Nepal’s maoists by Jonas Bendiksen.

This one is a better rounded multimedia piece by Emily Rasinski .With interviews, ambient sound, and music to go along with the imagery.

So lately I’ve been pretty curious and fascinated with the events and the aftermath of the Chernobyl incident back in the 80’s. It was done by Magnum photographer Paul Fusco. He did the book about the crowds he passed and photographed while on the Robert F. Kennedy funeral train 40 after Kennedy’s assasination in 1968. This Chernobyl piece is a bit long, but its really good. Ill admit though it’s a little light on the ambient audio.
