Mary really knows how to capture an emotion and feeling in her photos. The editing is great. I feel that she went for a sort of antique look with the park with the clock and the guitar. It fits the story very well.
The second picture and the quote go very well together, i like the clock and the church, as well as the dead tree in the picture. The black and white adds a lot to the tone of dark and gloomy. The eighth slide shows a very literal meaning of the quote. The moss on the wall really does look like an entangled web. Slide 17 is very creepy, the deadness of the body is clearly resembled in this picture.
Overall, the discoloration of the pictures and the excellent presentation of scenery make the photo essay extremely gloomy, which is exactly the effect that I believe Poe was aiming for. The picture of Holy Cross' campus is a great depiction of the quote attached to it. The black and white effects and the antique clock fits it well. The discoloration of the photograph of the bench and the leaves is a good literal interpretation of the quote. The picture of Hudson Catholic's hallway made an everyday scene become creepy through its emptiness at the time and the black and white effects. The silouette in the door window is also very scary. The picture of the dead fish adds to the morbidity of the story and captures the scary scene well, without the need of effects.
Nice editing! It's all nicely done, and the shot of the hall is perfectly capturing an inky mystique. It commands attention rather than a quick glance. The shot of the bench too is eye-catching. It's gently morbid, an innocent ghastliness.
I like the dark left of the first photo contrasted with light right side. Why is #3 out of focus? I'm assuming it was intentional...maybe add to quotation about how the house is shifting in the mist, etc. #4 is an interesting twist on the more cliched colorful sunset and it certainly is a "black and lurid tarn"! I really like the composition of #6 and the sepia tones make the shadings and shapes more dramatic I think. We notice them because we're not focused on seeing a variety of colors. Did you add colors to the fungi? Why? #10 has a nice contrast betwen older buildings and the skyscraper which looks kind of like a monster, towering and ominous by comparison. Looks like it might just crush the other buildings. Interesting that you can see the camera in the eye pictures. Why the three differently shaded images? Fish picture is cool. The textures and colors make it very interesting; makes me want to touch it to see what it feels like! And bones are very appropriate for quotation. Another un-cliched sunset! Good. The last slide is a little too pretty but the idea is good...
