I think there's such a discongruity between image and audio in that essay. That isn't always a bad thing, but for me, this was not a juxtaposition that opened up interesting avenues. Instead it felt like a lost opportunity: separately, the concept is interesting, the interviews seemed interesting, and the photos were interesting. But losing context for each of these by mashing them together to create some kind of nostalgic dream state just didn't work for me. Thanks for sharing this!
