David Alan Harvey - Road Trips (blog)

"i often contemplate "place"....both where i live and where i do my photographs....certain environments seem to be catalysts for good work done  and others not.....i tend to feel more comfortable in southern climes...new york is way way too far north for me...only because it is new york can i deal with the biting cold wind  of winter....cold is not so inspirational for me....a warm tropical dawn with  fishermen readying their small boats  for the sea moves me more than whale hunters preparing their dog sleds for a journey over the ice...."

Soundslides and the rise of the audio slideshow

Soundslides is a simple utility for making slideshows with audio in Flash format. It's been compatible with the Mac OS since its inception, and has recently emerged for Windows. You feed it JPEG photos and a sound file in either AIFF or MP3 format, and it outputs your slideshow as Flash files, along with the HTML files necessary to display the Flash files, in a single folder that can be uploaded to a server without additional work.
