Slide show

Last week (has it really only been 7 days?) we organized a slide show with my first photo teacher at RIT, Dan Larkin. Dan was the swearing, full head-of-hair man, that I wrote about in another post. He showed the ten of us his photographs from his journeys to Newfoundland. He has visited twice, for three weeks each time. The photographs were very interesting. The fact that Dan could talk about each piece was also really good. We all lounged around, ate pizza, and talked photo. It was great.
Dan likes using the slide show format to exhibit his work because he likes showing the work in a series and being able to talk about the experience. I was very surprised and glad when he agreed to present his work. He is a great inspiration and supporter.

Thank you Dan Larkin.


PS. Maybe if Mr. Larkin got his website up, you could all see his work.
