I find it much more likely they went this route for the style. The photographer for these photos is Lam Thuy Vo [1] and based on her gallery, she appears to shoot with a 5D Mark II. She is obviously comfortable with a high quality camera. [1] http://lamivo.com/index.html http://lamivo.com/index.html

I'm fine with the shooting - you know it's good because of the framing, exposure, and other factors. It's the laziness of throwing 6 animated gifs on the same page that I find deplorable. Even a slideshow with text would have been an improvement. To me this is like offering someone 6 spoonfuls of different food and saying it's equivalent to a meal. There's an entire visual grammar of sequential image presentation that's getting thrown away for the sake of novelty, so someone at npr.org can feel hip for knowing what a gif is. Let anyone get the wrong idea, I am a huge fan of Vine and think it occupies a happy medium between photo and longer-form video. But you won't make it better by stacking them in big piles, any more than Watching a bank of TVs tuned to multiple channels improves your information intake.
