Roy - Fine use of narrative and photos together for a good short 
story. I was thankful for the little on-screen count-down clock, 
which is a great way of letting people know how much time they should expect.

Three small issues - the first interview had too much base on my 
stereo sound system that is hooked up to the computer - was difficult 
to understand. Try to filter that track more toward the mid-range. 
The main narrative was crisp and clear.

- The image of the corner of the railroad car was confusing. Put the 
railroad tracks first, then the railway car will make better sense.

- The program ending with the interviewee seemed abrupt. Try adding a 
couple of main narrator "words of wisdom" that would close the program 
better.

I really enjoyed how you slowed down the visual info when the 
narrative provided most of the description, such as the comments on 
Hemingway's bed. Many people forget that the mind can only process so 
much. When the narrative is good story, the photo sequencing can slow way 
down.

I've done enough of these to know how much works goes into it - nice job!
