Last Tuesday Lecture

The speaker at this lecture was by far my favorite, and I'm really happy he was the last speaker because it would've been a hard time for any other speaker who had to live up to him and Emmit's powerful stories. He didn't even explain some of his photos and they were still very powerful, without even knowing the meaning behind them. Also he was one of those people who just took you into his world. You could feel his presence and energy in the room the second he started to speak. I was also impressed by how humble he was. He did not want a huge introduction, and he showed other people's work and his work from when he was in graduate school, which I appreciated seeing that, because it just shows even people who are huge like him now started off just like we, as Tyler students, are. Overall though this lecture made me leave remembering why I love art so much.
