dsnyc Posted July 24, 2006 Share #1 Posted July 24, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I recently completed a documentary slideshow on an interesting friend, Richard Stack. It's on my website at http://davidsellersphoto.com/RichardStack.html. It's a flash presentation best viewed with a broadband connection. I used both my Leica MP and a digital Pentax for the photos. I've attached a couple of pages from the slideshow as a preview. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotografr Posted July 24, 2006 Share #2 Posted July 24, 2006 Nice work, David. It's a moving and at the same time disturbing body of work to look at. I came away from it feeling very grateful to be healthy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgcd Posted July 24, 2006 Share #3 Posted July 24, 2006 Definitely an interesting and compelling subject matter. The slideshow is informative and fosters empathy. Nice work. Two observations with respect to the visual narrative, IMO the presentation could benefit from tighter editing, and while I presume the idea was to let Richard speak with his own voice (the written notes are a nice personal touch), in some instances the images appear to be too reliant on words to make their point.

dsnyc Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share #4 Posted July 24, 2006 Thank you Brent and Conrad for taking the time to view the slideshow and for the comments. Conrad, I think you make some very useful observations and I will consider them when I revise the project in the future. I originally conceived this to be presented in a book format, and the page layout may be more appropriate than a slideshow. Some of the images work best when paired as opposing pages. I also have been thinking about a DVD presentation using Richard's voice instead of the text. It's a new avenue for me in my photography, and it's been a very rewarding experience. I feel like I have a good "version 1.0" of the project & want to make it better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgcd Posted July 24, 2006 Share #5 Posted July 24, 2006 I also have been thinking about a DVD presentation using Richard's voice instead of the text. David - I think that would indeed work well - I should say, I was expecting to hear his voice when I first opened the slideshow. I guess you'll see as you experiment further.
