June 17th Presentation Timeeee

So the last group left was Yusuke, Maki and Izumi.
All presentations were interesting, but I gotta say, Izumi's got to me the most. It just might be because I personally am interested in photography but Izumi's was the first and only presentation that I felt like changed me or should I say, my outlook on photography. All of the other presentations that were given throughout the past couple of days were good but the thing is, after I hear the topic/argument, the content of the presentation never really contributed on influencing me...it's hard to explain but after you listen to a topic and the presenter's opinion on it, you(listener) construct your own argument and then you listen to the whole of the presentation hoping that it will influence your original stance. I feel like Izumi's was the one that successfully did this. I still don't understand what it was that made this possible but I'm guessing it was the way she spoke...it seemed as if she wasn't trying to remember the content of a cheat sheet but rather simply trying to deliver a message. It's scary how much the audience can interpret this.
Next up was Kristi. I am so glad that she got to give her presentation. She explained very well how the Koto works and how it is a too often neglected instrument. I was very well convinced to the point that I actually started wanting to play it.haha
although i do wished she wouldve given a bit more detail on why she thinks Koto's lost its popularity since that's her main argument not how the koto works.

Rab also mentioned today that we should say in the beginning of the presentation why people should be convinced by your argument and such.
It was such an experience having presentation classes with Rab but I don't feel content. I am definitely taking the presentation classes in the winter!
