narrated slide show

here is the site:click here
The narrated slide show I watched was titled: Evidence of my existence,by Jim JoScalzo.
The clip,which is almost 10 minutes in length,shows JoScalzo ,a photojournalist, traveling to India, Antarctica, Iraq, Iowa and returning home in the end.
The images captured were, to say the least, a bit unsettling. The reality of the leper colony visited in India and the war casualties in Iraq hit me like a train. The sounds captured the moments very well. Throughout the video there was a solid combination of ambient sound with music,and they both captured the moment very well.
The end of the file has JoScalzo returning home to his wife and young child, the images narrated by JoScalzo himself speaking on how he may never be a pivotal man in the photojournalist field, but he can be a pivotal man in his son's life.
