Slideshow self critique

After my original plan went bust, i decided to go in a more deliberate direction and act as my own director, setting up the photos i wanted and how i wanted. I had the song picked out from the very beginning and the photos were taken with the express purpose of matching the lyrics of the song. The only draw back of the slideshow was that i was unable to control the amount of time the individual slides remained on screen, thus syncronizing them with the lyrics of the song. Other then that i feel the slideshow was very strong and fulfills the peramiters outlined in the assignment.

Assignment #5: Self assignment

Objective: Follow the sun and moon for a full 24 hour period.

Method: The plan is to take one photograph every hour on the hour for 24 hours with the subject being the sun and the moon. Some other photos will be taken to show the effect of the sun and the moon on various places.

influences/inspirations: Steven Christenson is an entertainer, a magician, and most recently an award winning photographer who specializes in astronomy and landscapes. What makes his work interesting is that he shows movement in his images, implying movement and making his photos one panel movies in a sense. I would hope to incorporate this sensibility in my assignment, not only to make my images more interesting, but also to more accurately depict the sun and moons movement across the sky. The two bodies are moving along, on a journey of sorts, and the images should show that.  

Peter Carey quit his job as a senior systems administrator for an internet company in downtown Seattle, Washington to pour his time into his passions, travel and photography. He maintains a travel blog, The Carrey Adventures. His work has a very vibrant and organic look. It's very natural, and seems to really do justice to the subject of his piece and thats what i want for my pictures. No matter how mundane the subject i want people to not be able to stop looking at it because the nature of the image is so compelling.
