Together in prayer, Junto en la oración
April 10, 2008
The First Spanish Mass at Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Church was held in Incline Village, Sunday, April 6. More than 200 people showed up to share their faith in the church overlooking the lake. I wanted to capture the spirit of the moment in a way accessible to everyone, both English and Spanish speakers. I chose to use a slideshow that uses photos and audio to tell a story. It was difficult for me to edit the sound, as I understand little Spanish. But photos need no translation and I think the slideshow works even without subtitles.
Let me know what you think about the presentation. How would you cover a bilingual community?
