With the advent of user-generated content that has been able to be shared on the internet people from all over the world can now witness things that at one point could only be found in print. Print media chooses the things that people see in their publications and have space restrictions, but the internet has provided an outlet in which tons of information can be shared.
Flikr, a user-generated site that allows people to share their photography, has a slideshow of pictures from Obama's election night. The photos make the family seem more real and shows images that makes the viewer feel like your there. The slideshow is done extremely well, although some of the pictures display a blur from the movement. There are thumbnails at the bottom that allow individuals to either click through the image or allow the slideshow to play through. This is the way a slideshow should be done. I enjoyed the fact that such images existed and that through a user-generated website a photographer was able to publish the most intimate moments of election night for everyone to enjoy. People wonder what the candidates are thinking and doing while citizens wait at home for the results and now everyone can finally witness the answer for themselves.
