Lost Treasure!

This narrative is about two men that go on an expedition to find treasure lost hundreds of years ago by Spanish explorers. I'm not all too fond of this narrative. For one, the site is plagued by advertisement upon advertisement...the video is even intro-ed by an advertisement. The video also ended before the story was completed and went straight into an unrelated story. There were two good things about this site: one was the picture on the home page and the other was the day by day journal series logging the progress of the expedition.

Love!

I really enjoyed this narrative. It was an audioslideshow done by a photojournalist with National Geographic. It was really cool because she divided it up into five different sections and you could play the sections all the way through by pressing play, or select the section you wanted to see. It was also creative because there was video of her talking at various points in the slideshow. The pictures were very powerful and the information was informative.

Love, The Thing Called Love
