Pedro Meyer, "I photograph to remember"

Image copyright Pedro Meyer
If you have never seen " I photograph to remember " I strongly recommend that you go to http://zonezero.com/exposiciones/fotografos/fotografio/# and take a look at this ground breaking piece of work. Ground breaking not because of the subject matter, or the techniques used, but because of the way it was to be shown. It was put together, along with a narration by Meyer and a musical score, onto CD-rom. This was back in 1991, and was I believe, a forerunner for the whole digital storytelling movement, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_storytelling) and come to that, work such as Magnum in motion. http://inmotion.magnumphotos.com/ If you got one of those shiny new ipod video's you can download it as an mp4 file and add a bit of class to said gadgit, (move over Kylie) here:http://www.pedromeyer.com/ipod/version.html Oh and by the way, Happy New Year!
