Photos and memories
Memories of Mattea from Jorgen Gulliksen on Vimeo.
The paper was looking for some kind of multi-media piece for a story on the one year anniversary of the death of a two year-old girl to a hit and run driver. I had a feeling I could get a decent audio interview, but what would go with it? It’s not like it was a story that we covered for weeks and had tons of photos and/or video in the archive.
Luckily, the family randomly mentioned that they had a slideshow they put together on their computer of the girl. The light bulb went off and with some help from them, I was able to get a bunch of old pics to go with the some audio of the mom. Ended up working out in the end.
Makes me wonder where we would be without photos to go with our memories?
