Slate posted an excellent interactive essay about New York’s Niagara Falls today, a multimedia work that writer/photographer Alec Soth calls an “Orbison-like love song.” The photos, which are taken from an exhibit recently on display at New York’s Gagosian Gallery, focus on couples in love, roadside motels and, of course, Niagara Falls itself. It’s all set to Soth’s insightful narration about the nature of passion and transience of love and motels. Note: Scroll down to reach the interactive essay.
