I was about to write a nice long post about the sheer inefficiency of New Jersey Transit, which made me and hour late to work yesterday and then a half hour late getting home. That post would've bled into my need for a small, lightweight camera as there was another suicide on the tracks yesterday, and some very nice shots of police tape could've been made if only.
But, then I saw Airsick on MediaStorm. If you are familiar with MediaStorm, you will be expecting a beautifully shot and edited multimedia production, and this one does not disappoint. Beyond the yumminess of the photography though, it is refreshing to see a piece which not only takes a global issue and focuses on local causes, but also juxtaposes quotes and statistics so that this viewer, at least, walked away slightly relieved that she takes public transportation despite the inconveniences and yet again alarmed at our long emergency. The simplicity of the photos and the music really underscored the urgency, and the ignorance, surrounding climate change. Turn off your computers after you see this, and maybe take a walk instead of a ride today.
