Sean Cannon studio art senior

'Dirty' studio art senior admires large camera lenses, wishes he could paint like Picasso

Wildcat: Hi, my name's Nathan and you're on the spot.

Cannon: I think your trash can one was amazing.

Wildcat: Thank you. So, you're pretty tall for a white guy on campus. Have you been approached by Lute at all?

Cannon: Um no, but I can say that I can reach apples a lot better than most people can off of trees, so -

Wildcat: So you were mentioning my camera. You stopped me and actually inquired about the Wildcat camera and -

Cannon: The size of your camera, yeah.

Wildcat: Yes. The size of my camera. Besides the size of my camera drawing your attention, what made you ask? 'Cause your last name's Cannon? 'Cause you're a studio arts fan?

Cannon: (pointing) I have an interest in photography and I was just wondering, 'Wow, that is an amazing camera. I've never seen anything that big before.'

Wildcat: (looking down to waistline where camera is hanging from the neck) OK.

Cannon: Oh no. You know what I'm saying!

Wildcat: I know what you're saying, man. And I got you. And we won't take that out of context, especially at the Wildcat.

Cannon: Well, you know studio arts majors, they, you know, they ...

Wildcat: You guys are just dirty. That's all I got to say.

Cannon: We see things a lot more introspectively, so you know.

Wildcat: Introspectively? There was nothing introspective about saying the size of my camera is big. I feel really violated right now. But that's OK, 'cause this is a really nice camera.

Cannon: Can we talk about Picasso, and why I can't paint anything like him?

Wildcat: Yeah, go ahead.

Cannon: I'm not 3 years old, so ... (waiting for response). Are you familiar with Picasso?

Wildcat: Yeah. But like, his cubism stuff, that's kind of weird. But he had some really nice traditional-looking paintings. He's really versatile.
