Book: Audiophotography

I just got a new book that might interest others: Audiophotography: Bringing Photos to Life with Sounds. Computer Supported Cooperative Work Series. David Frohlich. 2004. Kluwer Academic Publishers.

book cover

“Audiophotography combines a detailed ‘user studies’ approach to photography, with consumers’ own critiques of new media content they have generated themselves.”

The book includes a CD of examples. I can see how this kind of media could also be considered videoblogging just as well as motion video with audio tracks. In fact, I’m somewhat surprised that iPhoto does not allow you to record a narrative voice track with photos.

The most interesting example on the CD has a photo with four thick edges labelled “ambient”, “conversation”, “music” and “voicetrack”. You can select and play multiple tracks simultaneously. How neat is that!

Listen to this post. (New and improved… my actual voice!)
