I liked this piece on the Lost Property Unit in Penn Station by the New York Times as there was a nice bit of work that went into it. I liked the story and seeing all the things that were lost and found and then organized so nicely underneath Madison Square Garden. It was funny to see the little section that was about 15 seconds long and used graphics to follow a cell phone that was lost on the subway to show the path it takes when turned into the authorities. I haven't seen a lot of cartoonish graphics like this so it was refreshing and made the piece fun. It didn't take a lot of work and since it just used a little cut out and some text plus some POV footage, it wasn't complicated. One woman sounded looney to turn in a 100 dollar bill somehow that it still filed away safely. While I didn't particularly care for seeing the correspondent, Ariel Kaminer a lot, I did like the piece and was fascinated to see the room and files where everything was kept so neatly. So, those of you who didn't know it, you may still find that bag or book or phone that was left behind on NYC Transit. What a nice town New York City is these days.........
