Digital photo albums using youtube
The author: Professor Yasser Metwally
A photographic album, or photo album, is a collection of photographs, generally in a book. Some albums have compartments which the photos may be slipped into; other albums have heavy paper with an abrasive surface covered with clear plastic sheets, in which photos can be put. Older style albums often were simply books of heavy paper which photos could be glued to or attached to with adhesive corners, or pages.
Digital photo albums using Youtube is possible by transforming digital photos into videos and upload the video to Youtube. Youtube can actually transformed into Digital photo books. Digital photo books seem neater and more professional than traditional albums. This has led to their growing popularity amongst both professional and amateur photographers.

Photojournalism: The Egyptian geographic magazine
The author: Professor Yasser Metwally
The Egyptian geographic magazine (http://egm.yassermetwally.com) is a slideshow-based digital publication that contains too may images and too little words because I always regarded pictures as pieces of information (infographics) that are even more informative than words. Images (infograms) represent a wordless international language that can be understood by any human being without the need for an interpreter and without the need to translate any thing to any language. Photos in this publication act as a medium of information in its own right rather than to enhance a text. Instead of the images acting as a supplement to the text, The Egyptian geographic magazine highlights the use of photographs as the predominant medium for the imparting of information. The Egyptian geographic magazine is about Egypt that will ultimately describe every thing about Egypt in photos rather than words. Images are grouped in flash-dependent slideshows to maximize the interest of the reader on one hand and the ease of use on the other hand.
When i talk about images, i mean sill images, with no verbal or written comments or background music. The whole story is told by still images. Comments and music will direct the viewer to a certain direction and that is not what i mean or want. The limitation here is your imagination. The Egyptian geographic magazine represents what is called photojournalism. Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that creates images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images, but in some cases the term also refers to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography (e.g., documentary photography, social documentary photography, street photography or celebrity photography) by complying with a rigid ethical framework which demands that the work is both honest and impartial whilst telling the story in strictly journalistic terms. Photojournalists create pictures that contribute to the news media.
