Wanna go to Mexico?
It’s been a while since I’ve made an audio slideshow, but today I came across more great examples on my favorite travel writing website, World Hum–inspiring slideshows like Abbie Kozolychk‘s “The Family Jewels” and an older one I just discovered, Doug Mack‘s Not-So-Flattering Views of Famous European Landmarks. I love the way the slideshows let you experience the photos at the same time the words are being read. I don’t know exactly how to put it, but the effect they have on me always nears that of being mesmerizing.
And so on the plane ride over to London last night, I worked on my own slideshow, “Wanna go to Mexico?” about the roadtrip my brother and I recently took from Kansas to Virginia. Maybe I was aiming to mesmerize as well, or maybe I simply didn’t have the heart to narrow down my photos for a standard blog post. Either way…enjoy!
I absolutely LOVE the idea of audio slideshows. While I am obvi a fan of your work, I enjoyed this slideshow especially. Great pacing (very NPR) and I was “mesmerized” by your acute sense of sights on the road. Way to get all multimedia on us, Candace
Thank you, Joseph! That is high praise coming from you. Learning how to work with iMovie was obviously yet another stretch of my technological abilities, but I do enjoy the challenge
You did mesmerize. Totally brilliant. weldone
Thank you so much, Seyi. It was so fun talking to you about writing the other night…see you in the morning!
LOVE it! Awesome idea and great to listen to your beautifully told story!
Thank you, Lea! It’s always great to hear from you
COOL!
Thanks, Megan! Glad you enjoyed it
Oh, how I enjoyed this! It was so lovely to hear your voice and the photos are (obviously) breathtaking, to mention nothing of your captivating writing tone. Keep up the stellar work, Candy!
Thank you, Ariel! You know how much kind words mean. I’ve pretty much run out of ways to say how much I love your blog…it suffices to say that I can’t wait to see what inspiration lies in each new post. It’s so fun to watch our blogging adventures grow…remember when we each couldn’t even come up with a name for them?!
