I am excited to let you know about a new project Magnum In Motion did. It's not one of the multimedia essays where you see a slideshow of photographs together with the photographers voice and street sounds but something else... It's a look backstage with Larry Towell, one of the great Magnum photographers.
This multimedia story is divided into 4 main chapters: El Salvador, Palestine, Mexico and Canada as well as into 6 extras such as "The Way Into Magnum", "Making Books" or "Inside The Photobag".

This new story which is very much build like a movie gives a great insight into the person Larry Towell as well as into his work and motivations. Magnum did a great job on that and you can expect more of this sort to come along soon. Please let us know what you think!

All other Magnum Photos multimedia essays can be seen on the Magnum In Motion website at http://www.magnuminmotion.com/

Don't forget the Halloween Parade in New York City on Monday October 31 2005 starting at 7 p.m. I never attended the Halloween Parade yet but from everything I heared so far it should be good fun and a great photo opportunity.

All those in costumes are welcome to walk inside the parade. Pre-Registration is not required. Line Up for all those in costume is on 6th Avenue South of Spring Street between 6:30 and 8 p.m. Approach the line up ONLY from the South and East--Spring, Broome and Dominick Streets WEST of 6th Avenue will NOT be entry points this year and the Spring Street Subway stop will be closed. Come up from Canal Street to avoid confusion !

More information can be found on the website of New York's Village Halloween Parade.
