- Just thought I'd post a little blurb after seeing Jay Maisel's lecture at
- U.C. Berkeley's Dwinelle Hall on Monday November 16, 1992 on "Light, Color &
- Gesture" on behalf of U.C. Berkeley's Journalism School.
-
- Review:
-
- Very nice presentation. He spoke for about 45 minutes and then proceeded to
- show about 100 slides of some of his work.
-
- Although I don't find his work to be particularly inspiring, he was very nice
- and pleasant and seemed genuninely interested in his and other people's work.
- He answered questions from the audience after he was done, and overall, I
- really liked it.
-
- A friend of mine told me that he was pretty "arrogant" and stuff, but I didn't
- find him particularly so. He did do his quota of "name dropping:"
-
- "When I was shooting for 'A Day In The Life of Tokyo'..."
- "When I was shooting for the 'Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue'..."
-
- but hey...the guy's a heavyweight so he should be able to brag. :)
-
- My totally incomplete information tells me that he is off to Southern California
- for his next lecture. I don't know when or where so don't e-mail me. :( The
- lecture was sponsored by Kodak's Professional Photography Division and is part
- of a lecture series on behalf of a now-dead photographer (whose name now
- escapes me.)
-
- If he comes to your town, check it out! It's free, too. Cool free posters of
- one of Jay's images from Jerusalem were also available for the taking. (and
- for his John Hancock if you so desired...)
-
- Cheers!
