Chasing Crusoe Multimedia - www.rcrusoe.org

Chasing Crusoe is an interactive documentary multimedia storytelling website that I worked on in the Spring of 2006. A group of us traveled to Robinson Crusoe Island, which is situated about 400 miles west of the Chilean mainland in the Pacific Ocean, to gather documentary stories about life there. The premise of the site was to compare the true story of this place with the classic novel it is named after, "Robinson Crusoe" by Daniel DeFoe. I took all of the photos for the story "Changing Times" and some in "Island Life." Since this site is Flash-based, links to each specific story are not avilable. Therefore, after arriving to the site, click the Isla Más a Tierra link in the upper right-hand side of the navigation bar.
Then click the link Changing Times. Be sure to have your volume turned up, as these stories have crucial audio components.

Back on the same Isla Más a Tierra page, click on Island Life to watch that story. All three of the photographers working on the project, including myself, contributed to this story.
