The museum itself was quite boring. The lady speaking dragged on trying to be interesting and looked kind of uncomfortable. Most of the images looked as if they were taken from the forgotten pages of textbooks begging for their 15 seconds of fame. One photograph did catch my attention however. A photograph by Larry Fink. I learned more when I went home and researched Mr. Fink then in the hour spent in the workshop. The way he catches moments at parties and social events in black and white really opened my eyes. It shows how there are two sides to everything. The side which is obvious to everyone, the skin deep meaning, and the meaning you have to look for, how each moment is precious and can make or break the moment following it. That one must seize not the day, but each moment and make the best of it all.

Carlos,
Thank you for being honest about your feelings regarding the visit. I have never looked at Fink’s work but this sounds like something interesting to use in future classes. Deep interpretation.
