Chris' Response to Nicole's Question

As a part of the bridge program, teachers and students alike have taken part in listening to lectures every week, which cover different topics surrounding current events and sciences. As time has passed, we have learned about lab testing, african dipicture, and even how to listen to the lectures we're being given. As interesting as some of these might or could have been, it was yesterday's speech that caught my attention the most. The presentation, "The Textual Photography", described the changing cultures and methods of visual artistry. It chorniclised the formation of pictures from the days of paintings and hieroglyphics to the new era of internet and photography, as technology has been changing rapidly for many years now. I believe that the later talk of digital camera, cell phones, and computers made this lecture more relateable to the audience it was being presented to, whereas the other speeches were in the realm of topics not so close to home. Particularly, I enjoyed te speaker and the was he brought the context to us. He came equiped with a well-planed powerpoint presentation and delivered the information with ease, in a simplistic fasion. It was not difficult for me to transfer the facts he was telling into a well recieved, person manner, due to my personal understanding of technology and his easy approach. Regardless of my technical experience, I did take away a lot from this lecture as I was taught many facts about early painting, photography, and film that I was not aware of, such as the steps the picture medium took in its progression throught the years. Due to this reason alone, I found this lecture very involving and insightful.
