Photojournalism From A Student’s Eye

The first of nine videos featuring local Indonesian children who will be attending the Green School this September and are looking for sponsors to help offset their costs. I am still getting used to doing work that isn’t necessarily “journalism,” but I feel as though I approached it in the same manner.

Feedback is appreciated. I am not sure why the audio of the father does not sync up in the middle. In FCP it does, but when I export it out it doesn’t. Viewing it on the actual Vimeo site enables the HD version.

Not sure why, but every time I embed it, it says “Sorry, this video no longer exists.” So here is the direct link to it.

From a kite festival a week or so ago.

More photos on Flickr. I still have to go through my video of this and of the cremation.

More photos and audio slideshow to come.

From the LA Times, found through Interactive Narratives.

I am sitting in the airport in Taipei, Taiwan, halfway there to beginning my journey in Bali, Indonesia. I have been meaning to update more often, with info on where I am going and what I will be doing, but found myself too busy catching old friends one last time and packing (it has been only two weeks since I left the Register).

Hopefully I will have some photos to post once I get settled at the Green School, but until then, I will be checking out the newly re-launched Interactive Narratives and I suggest you do too!

Oh and, while you are at it, check out the video done by Shaminder Dulai that is displayed on the top of the photo below. It is one of the video pieces he is working on while a summer fellow at Poynter.
