Responce to Joe's presentation on DAWOUD BEY

So Joe was nice enough to send us the link via email for Mr. Bey's website to listen to the audio. I went back to listen to Kevin's blurb, the kid we talked about in class, and it defintly put the picture into more context that way than just reading it. It does what its supposed to do, which is give these kids a voice to be heard. I do think that is important and would be much better to see it in the gallery setting though. It does seem like it was kind of rehersed alittle though and i'm certian he asked him a bunch of questions most likely and just chose one that went well with the picture. I like the work as a whole and gives a nice commentary to social/urban peoples. I really think that what kevin says makes sense in a bad english sense and holds true to life in general, although i can not relate to his situation i certinaly can understand his thought process. I also would like to say that Dawoud is one of the coolest names ever!
