Bill Eppridge's Epic Poem

I throughly enjoyed Bill Eppridge's presentation on his work during his career.  Not only was his photos interesting, but his narration of all of the events made the lecture extremely enjoyable.  Listening to all of the different events he had witnessed and experienced was astonishing.  There were several parts of the lecture that I found to be the most interesting.  The first part was Eppridge's picture of New York Harbor.  The picture contains a boat on the left side of the frame, a waving American flag on the top right, and the twin towers below the flag on the bottom right.  The elements of the picture are fascinating.  Obviously the towers were still intact at this point, so to think about the symbolism this photo would have in years later is incredible.  The other part of the lecture that I found interesting was his experiences with Robert Kennedy, specifically the night of his assassination.  I find it mind-blowing to hear that Eppridge was not just a bystander in the whole event, but actually apart of Kennedy's entourage; to the extinct that he was a member of the formation that was supposed to escort Kennedy out of the event.  The intensity of this story was by far the most enthralling part of the presentation.
