I don't get what the appeal of these is to photographers or viewers... it's just a way to make thirty mediocre photos palatable by showing them for only a few seconds, instead of culling four or five good ones out of it and presenting it as a normal photo essay.

Well, I don't feel like they're mediocre photos. My overall take from the day was around 500 photos, and pulling 42 good ones out of that wasn't that hard.

This ran as a photo story in the paper, with a link to the video on the web. It's just another way of telling the story. There's no ambient audio or interviews with a photo story, obviously.

I saw some really good ones in there, for about two seconds each. But the sheer mass and speed of them detracts from them all. You're a really good photographer; do you really think your work deserves just a few seconds of consideration?

You can quote someone in a photo or overall-essay caption, and it might tell what happened just as well, but the photos and story lose all impact. Like, imagine if Capa had done one of these on the Spanish Civil War and "Loyalist Militiaman at the Moment of Death" was onscreen for five seconds.

It's the whole problem of tackling people's attention spans, and it's tough to balance.

I'd love to give everyone 10 seconds to view a photo, but it's boring to most people. That's why I'm working on developing my After Effects and Premiere skills, in order to do the cool, subtle transforms that Ken Burns and his peers use. It gives every photo the time and attention it deserves.
