Photo stories

Web-based multimedia production is getting more and more interesting both for professionals and amateurs, what with tools such as Soundslides. No excuse for textbased purism anymore!

But there is still room for the classic documentary photo story as well. A couple of new examples: Annie Leibovitz chronicles the construction of the New York Times building on Manhattan. Men are still required to build skyscrapers! Vanity Fair has also put both sets of photos on separate pages – part I and part II.

In Time Magazine, Jacob Silberberg and Thomas Dworzak show us The Two Sides of Nigeria.

Meanwhile, there is a whole lot of Flickr innovation going on. Flickrvision is just beautiful, and FlickrSLiDR makes it ridiculously easy to embed slideshows on your own page.
