Photo Story Help

->> ~All,

So I spent three weeks in January shooting photos at Isaiah House, a Christian drug and alcohol abuse rehab center in central Kentucky for an independent photo story course I was doing, and I'm down to finalizing my project. Now, I plan to do a media slideshow of about 5-6 minutes which includes audio interviews, but the editing process for the audio is quite long and that isn't nearly ready yet, but I have a final set of about thirty images that I'm trying to whittle down. They consist of an initial twelve images for a general overview/story about the house itself, with no focus on any particular individuals beyond a very basic level, that I would like to cut to ten images, and then four individual stories that tell more about four particular people.

As it stands right now, I feel it's too long, and I'm trying to tackle to much, and what I was hoping for was some suggestions from members here on how to cut it, whether it be the way I am ordering the essay, photos that you think are unnecessary to the story, or anything like that. Any help you could offer would be great, I can see possibilities myself (and I'm considering removing one of the individual stories altogether I just can't decide which one) but I would love feedback.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

You can view the essay here:

->> My apologies but PhotoShelter decided it was going to leave out two photos from the story when I copied it to the gallery, it should be complete now. Also to clarify, the media slideshow will have about 60 slides, this is a separate entity.
