Here is a slideshow of S-21, the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.


R-D1 was perfect here....quiet, small and unobtrusive. Please watch the slideshow and let me know what you think.

Jeff, excellent document, the images capture the atmosphere of the place in a very clear and aesthetic way. I hope this can be seen by the masses, a print document would be great! (BTW Schindler's list theme goes perfect with the mood)

Thanks for sharing,
Ricardo
 
very nice documentary work, very moving.

What kind of finder did you use with the 21mm ? I use non for the moment but this is sometimes an issue so thinking about one.
 
Well done. Was there late last year, full-on place. Do you mind me asking what program you used to put that together?
 
Very well done slideshow, I really liked it. But as a graphic designer I think that the text in buttom is bouncing a little - It would been nice if it follow the rythme of the pictures and the music - maybe just slow scrolling

Thanks for your comments.

Don't use viewfinder (sold the one that came with the voightlander); prefer the 28mm setting for now.

I use Lightroom for editing and then SoundSlides Pro for the slideshow (and unfortunately their aren't any options for the captions...i agree with the 'bounce up' not feeling right with the theme.

Yeah, great music by John Williams (that's what iTunes says anyway...I'm no expert on this music).
 
My heartfelt thank you for the education and for your compassion!!!

One of the best well spent 4 minutes of my life.
 
Extraordinarily well done

Extraordinarily well done

Hi Jeff, that place has been photographed to death (so to speak), and it is a singular achievement to come away with something truly original, as you have done. The photographs, by themselves are of a very high order, especially the outdoor, environmental ones that set the scene and remind us, painfully, that this was...a school before the war, a place where happy children played. But the way you have put the whole show together is masterly, and that includes the pacing and the close-ups. Tremendous stuff, eschewing sensationalism for something much more profound.
Bravo!

I spent four years in Vietnam. I have no particular love for the Northern Vietnames government or its policies. One good thing I will always give them credit for; they did take out Pol Pot's regime. Of course, if you know Vietnamese history, it wasn't too difficult a thing for them to decide to do. They pushed out the Champa to make their country centuries ago, and never did like the Cambodians (nor vice versa) after that.

However, having listened to the Vietnamese radio broadcasts from Hue after the original Tet (even as late as 70 and 71), I can understand the sadness and dispair of the Cambodian people. How sad to hear broadcasts listing people trying to find news of missing loved ones.

Thanks for the slide show. It is indeed well done. Quite poignant.
