  1. Hi, everyone.
  2. Um, so for my virtual presentation idea, I thought about
  3. doing an artist talk with the photographer I like.
  4. I'm actually part of the CSU will be photo club.
  5. Um, and I am interested in, um, proposing an idea
  6. for an artist talk with photographer Matt Black.
  7. Um, he's been doing, um, photography for about 30 years
  8. now. Um, and he, uh, is renowned in California specifically
  9. because most of his material, um, involves, um, people that
  10. live in California, including migrant workers, Um, and people that
  11. work jobs that are dangerous.
  12. He shoots pictures.
  13. Um, and he is really interesting.
  14. Who is?
  15. Yeah. So he's a documentary photographer.
  16. Um, that's another word for what I just explained.
  17. Um, and he's won several awards.
  18. Um, so, um is a member of Magnum photos, which
  19. is really interesting that he, um, join them just for
  20. a documentary photography.
  21. Um, that kind.
  22. Well, his kind of work is reminiscent of photographers that
  23. were paid to photograph the Great Depression.
  24. Anyways, um, as you can see, he uses a like
  25. a and he only shoots in black and white film
  26. like as a really expensive cameras.
  27. They were produced in the sixties up until today.
  28. So, actually, I think even before that, they became really
  29. popular in the fifties and sixties for documentary photography.
  30. Um, anyways, photo club, they have virtual recurring guest speakers.
  31. They're all photographers, and they talk about their work and
  32. their usually unique or their popular either on social media
  33. or they have had exhibitions in the past with museums.
  34. Um, but a club is trying Currently trying thio gain
  35. a grant from CSU will be to get Sorry, this
  36. absolutely, um, to get money so that they can fund
  37. artists more renowned artists to speak.
  38. Um, virtually this year.
  39. 2021 Um, and michael is to attract students.
  40. Um, hopefully ah, lot of art students.
  41. A zealous faculty to this event.
  42. Um, I have heard of him speaking at schools that
  43. black in the past, and he has made it, um,
  44. an important part of, um I guess what he does,
  45. uh, is to talk about his work and to present
  46. it because he does deal with a lot of interesting
  47. themes. Themes that are very present right now, including immigration,
  48. environmentalism, et cetera.
  49. Um, I hope to raise awareness with this with his
  50. presentation Thio funding the arts, which is a very important
  51. thing right now.
  52. I know that that is also an ongoing debate in
  53. academic communities Has been for so long.
  54. Um, and art at CSL B is very important.
  55. And I think that maintaining that during this time is
  56. incredibly important, considering the amount of money that the school
  57. makes. So that is my proposal?
  58. Um, yeah.
