Interesting link

Forgot to mention, over on the ‘Twittersphere’ the other day, Edmond Terakopian threw up a link to an amazing photo essay by Todd Heisler on the New York Times website.

Called One in 8 Million, it’s an ongoing look at the normal everyday, but unique, characters that inhabit New York and is updated weekly. As with a lot of work these days, it’s presented in an audiovisual format (something I really want to try), the audio being of each subject talking about their passions, trials and tribulations. Coupled with the intriguing images AV really works, adding an extra dimension of depth to the personalities involved.

The slideshow can be found at: http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/nyregion/1-in-8-million/index.html

And more on the photographer: Todd Heisler

I know I’ll be checking back each week to see what else has been added.

This post is brought to you by Baz Lurman’s Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen). Even after all these years the lyrics are still brilliant.
