Tracking the lives of people through words and images is a powerful way to document particular experiences. These photographs and written accounts are then shared with various audiences with the goal of evoking emotion.
The numerous slide shows posted on YouTube after the tragedy at Virginia Tech are an example of how a collection of images paired with music and words can bring the general public into the experience. I am a Virginia Tech alum and my brother is a current student, so the emotions ran high for me when I first viewed these compilations. I felt for the victims, their families, and the entire community who was shattered in a matter of moments. I still can't watch these slide shows without a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.
