Many years ago I did some free-lance work for The Post and was impressed with everyone there. Back in the mid 1980's the photographic story telling was truly outstanding. Things have not changed. Michael Williamson and others are still cranking out really nice work. I decided to wander on over to the Post's web site to see what they have been doing in the multimedia arena. I came across a project called "The Healing Fields". Really well done. It's presented in a Flash module with video's by Alexandra Garcia and Whitney Shefte, photo gallery by Williamson, and story by Mary Otto all done for the Washington Post Magazine which comes out weekly.
This piece tackles the problem of health care for the residents of Appalachia and how this one health care mission handles over 2,000 people in two days - a remarkble feat. The audio was perfect, the video was good not great but with plenty of good b-roll to keep you interested and of course Williamson's photos were well done. Otto has done a wonderful job giving the reader a mental picture of the people and feel of what is happening in Wise County Virginia every year.
