Music & Slideshows!!!


David Schonauer, Editor of American Photo magazine, hit the jackpot with his recent post of the State of the Art blog. His post "When Music Ruins the Picture Show" is a timely diatribe of how he's had enough of slide shows accompanied by music.

He writes: "Here’s my advice to anyone who wants their photo presentations to stand out: Leave out the music and simply show your images. Let silence work for you: In the absence of Irish harps, digereedoos, and atonal chants, audiences will really gaze at your work. (Especially if you show them one image at a time and offer interesting background information.).

The funniest line (but it's true!) in the post is this: "With photojournalists it’s invariably world music—a sure sign of the international and cultural dimensions of the work."

He's absolutely right. Enough already. Less is more as they say.
