Thursday, October 22 at 6pm I’m giving a lecture at BYU-Idaho for their Art Seminar series. I’m going to be telling the story about the first time I kissed a girl (it was during the TV show Family Feud) and about the time a guy was walking around Rexburg without a coat when it was twenty below zero. (I’m going to leave the swear words out of that story. It still works without the swears. I mean, it’s not like I’m giving a lecture to pirates). I’ll also show some of my work and talk about how I got started in photography, why I do it, where it’s taken me, and the photographers that have made an impact on my craft. My goal is that listeners will be both entertained and inspired.
I may even work in the following quote from the book No More Secondhand Art:
The greatness of a poem or a painting is not that it portrays the thing observed or experienced, but that it portrays the artist’s or the poet’s vision cued off by his encounter with reality. Hence the poem or the painting is unique, original, never to be duplicated.
Maybe I’ll see you there.
Smith Building – Room 240 – 6pm

!!!!! See you tomorrow!
Not only would I love to be there, but I would also love to hear those stories*!
*Some of my close ancestors were Sparrows, so I’d be willing to hear the pirate or non-pirate version. The swears are in my blood, aargh!
I wish I was able to come to this.
Good luck…we will be thinking of you.
Lucky kids to get to hear you and your fun stories.
I will see you there!
lucky them. sounds like you’ll be a great show!
wow! i wish I could be there! say hi to my old teachers for me.
Just wanted to let you know my daughter called me from BYU-I tonight to tell me about your message. She was really struggling with the decision to major in art. Tonight she felt she received an answer to her prayers! She was so inspired and happy after listening to your message! I thought you might like to know you’re making a difference…..
Thank you!
