After we stayed up way too late talking with Mark, I only got about 5 hours of sleep. That plus driving 5 hours back to Boone wasn't a good combination. Thankfully, Zach drove the final leg and I was able to sleep for a bit. After we got up at about and moving and Starbucks in our systems we went to a panel relating to the exhibition which was great. There were presentations from Heather McClintock, Blue Earth Alliance, Aperture Magazine, and Tom Rankin from the Center for Documentary studies at Duke University. The discussion was primarily about the functions of these organizations and the issues they face while dealing with controversial photography. It was fascinating! I learned so much and have much more respect for those who push the boundaries of art and photography.
Following the panel was an Art-o-mat venture compliments of Mark, lunch, Urban Outfitters and the drive home. If you dont know what Art-o-mat is check out the website, because its really cool!
Heather's mother is the sweetest, cutest lady ever!!!
Our favorite person!!
So many cameras/photographers!!!!
We were walking down King Street (how ironic for us Boone folks) in Charleston and I saw one of Heather's exhibition flyers in a window. It was kind of exciting!
A side note concerning our trip home: South Carolina drivers are crazy and apparently have no regard for speed limits. So I was driving on 26 through South Carolina at 85 mph (which was somewhat over the speed limit) and people were PASSING me!! It was insane, and a kind of scary and stressful experience!! So if you ever have to drive through South Carolina, brace yourself!
