I was surprised with Ashley Gilbertson talked. I am a person who love history but never read any newspaper or watch news. Once he came up to the stage, I thought he will describe his photos same as other designers. But his one was so different. It was real, and anyone can have they own opinion to think about his work. I love he describe his work, by each photo has a story or maybe more. He can remember and describe really detail to each stories, with their names, families, places and everything. Because he is beside the photo.
His presentation with all with the anger and emotions but I can see how sad his eyes to see all the photos that he looked at, but he was there when the tragedy happened. There are no words that I can describe about him. But, I love the way he present his photos as journalist, his photos are not an art work or design. But they are history by His Story that are reality.
ps. Check his website and have a look his photos and read his journal to each one. And then you can have your opinion.
