Obama Acceptance Speech Slideshow

So Barack Obama will be the 44th president of the United States. After a long campaign season, TV networks declared him the winner of last night's election pretty quickly.

Shortly after Obama was declared the winner, McCain gave a gracious concession speech to his supporters in Phoenix. Minutes later Obama would address his own supporters in Chicago with an eloquent acceptance speech.

For this post, I have featured an audio slide show from CNN, in which Obama's acceptance speech is narrated over a variety of campaign-themed images. Very nicely done.

Wow. That really demonstrates the power of still photography with sound. Many online journalists feel this is more effective than video, and in this case I think that's true. Also excellent quality -- in photos, in photo choice, in editing, in resolution, etc.
