The narrative works well. But to me, there's a problem with the constant panning of the stills. It almost induces motion sickness, the viewpoint forever whizzing around, although it is, of course, very much in keeping with contemporary ideas on video/photo presentation. Perhaps more importantly, the stills are quite contemplative and reflective in nature. Constant viewpoint motion destroys this, in addition to hindering the inherent beauty of the compositions as photographs in their own right to be perceived by the viewer. Perhaps a balance could be struck between a presentation acceptible to a contemporary audience and the more reflective nature of the photographs, both as examples of still photography, their contents, and the style of the narration.
