“The most visual medium is radio.” I don’t know who originally crafted that thought, but it certainly rings true. A well-crafted radio news report can transport you across the World to a time and place that you can only imagine in your mind.
For me, photo slide shows are a close second. Beautiful pictures, matched with compelling sound give you just enough imaginative stimulus to transport your mind to the circumstances of the people depicted.
I’m a video guy, but I’m a sucker for good radio and a good photo slide show. Fortunately National Public Radio Staff Photographer David Gilkey is embedded with a United States Marine unit operating in Afghanistan. The slide show he produced is amazing.
Bonus points to Gilkey for amazing black and white pictures. Even more points for putting himself in danger to bring the story of our servicemen home.
