Ben Fink lecture

Ben Fink was a very quite man but able to command our attention well, or at least for the majority of the lecture. His early photography of food was really interesting (and made me hungry) and his landscapes had a masterful use of color in them. I felt however Ben suddenly took an awkward turn in the end and lead the audience down a path that they weren't prepared for. He started showing some rather darker work that no one was quite ready for and were having trouble following what point he was trying to make. It's not that I think that we as a school couldn't handle it or relate to it on some level, it's just that it seemed like a sudden shift in topics and it left many feeling detached and uncomfortable.
