  1. I'm sure Hannah Starkey is a lovely person, but she's without doubt, one of the least effective and most boring public speakers I have ever struggled to listen to. I gave it three goes and ended up skipping her rambling tedium.

    If you wish to do the same, please jump to 24:27

    This can be done fully safe in the knowledge that you will have missed nothing enriching. Her entire thesis is neatly and immediately summed up in the pithy responses by her co-presenters. Basically: photography is democratizing as it can reach many people, including the illiterate, is the core of her argument. I'm glad the Saatchi Gallery invited her along to share that amazing insight with us all.  :/ 

  2. Hannah Starkey is taking a really long time.
    Oh god, Hannah Starkey!
    Is she going to make an argument?
    Oh, she's done… That seemed a bit useless. But I like what she says about photography.
    Oh! Suzan jabbed at Hannah there "Which I hope I'll address" Damn!!!!!!
    Suzan seems smart. I like the confusion too now.
    We get it and we're the lucky ones. Good for her! I like her so much now!
    Mitch is next…
    Oh! He's sassy.
    Goodness me, he's opinionated! I like him 🙂 I really like him.
    I'm out of space
