Fashion On The Street In NY by Bill Cunningham

The New York Times featured a small multimedia sound slideshow titled On the Street I Windward, by photographer Bill Cunningham.

The slideshow is a visual journalistic piece, describing the different forms of fashion that have made their way to the streets following an early start into winter.

Cunningham's voice accompanies his images, as he gives a descriptive narrative of the fashions as well as the decorative and natural signs of the approaching season.

This is a great example of a sound-slide, since both the audio and the photographs go well with one-another, and while individually they are both strong pieces, neither would do well on its own in this kind of format.
