Link to photo story!

Here is a link to a photo story I found on the UN News Centre website. It is a collection of photos from the entire year.

I felt like it would be pretty hard to make the decision on which photos from an ENTIRE year of amazing events to include in a "year in review" photo story. In this case, it is narrowed down to the UN so that does make it a little easier for the producer. I felt like the collection was not only emotion provoking but was a very ecletic mix of everything going on in the world.

The story is not all just blood and guts and devastation. The collection also features snapshots of political figures and how it is relatable. The writings with the photos are also effective in the message it is trying to portray. It still allows the reader to get their own emotional response while being informed.

The only thing I would suggest doing a little bit different would be to include a few more pictures in the collection. It seemed a little strange to me that it was so short, although it did leave me wanting to search the website for more which might have been the intent.
