I think that particularly with a multimedia presentation like "Final Salute," there is the possibility for convergence to tell a fuller story. The use of audio, video and photo, used in various combinations, can better convey various aspects than just one over the other, or simple print. The audio slide show seems to take a certain amount of pressure off of the viewing experience - instead it's as if you're being let in on a nuanced extra, in a very slice-of-life fashion. And, of course, the poignancy is still there, from the raw power of certain photos to the emotion that can only be conveyed through intonation. Perhaps for me, though, the Time slide show on Katrina hit on a more visceral level (and its title also reminded me of this). Of course, it didn't seem much different from many of the images one may have seen in print, in a newspaper or magazine, or on television. Without the audio behind it, I felt it still fit the multimedia mold because it acted as an extended album for particularly unique shots - many of the pictures seemed full of beautifully unique minutiae.
