Audio Slideshow

This is a slideshow I found from the State Journal Register photography website. The show is about a group of kids with Down's Syndrome who get together and dance. I chose this slideshow because the photographer took a visually boring environment (a dance studio) and created interesting pictures. I thought the variety of angles and aspects were very impressive. The audio was also well done. Produced by: Lane Christiansen
