the future of all of everything in all of life

notes to me: nyt online slideshow

[ed]


so i was thinking about how important it is for us to keep an eye out for what is "to come". ie the death of the newspaper, the continuing trend of the people who are going to succeed (new york times) really making a push to provide in depth and behind the scenes, etc, via online media. perfect example is this link:




it talks to a couple of photographers about their covering of both the DNC and RNC and their motivations and stuff. beyond just this content is and insight into what went on, their motivations, plans, and how they executed them....is the idea that this isnt a standard thing yet. that is, a big-pictured [full screen is an option], audio-commentary track that further engage the chronically degenerating attention span of the american and world audience. [immediacy has its consequences.]

just saying...i like the idea of being able to view the images and hear what they have to say.

rob i know we talked about this very fleetingly the other day in context of ABJP, but i think that just cements the idea of trying to embrace the next step. thats one of bryan's things (whether he knows it or not).

anyway...just ideas. just trying to milk every medium for all its worth.
