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 🙂

    • Thank you so much, Seyi. It was so fun talking to you about writing the other night…see you in the morning! 🙂

  • 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?! 🙂
