Response to gallery visit

Before we arrived to the South end, I wasn't sure of what to expect. I have lived in Boston for several years and I'm in the South end often, but I had never visited any of the galleries. As we walked into the carroll & sons, it was interesting to look around at the way the gallery was set up, and the different types of work that was distributed throughout the gallery. It was cool how he had a "back room" for different sort of work that didn't fit in with the photographs in the main gallery.
Joseph Carroll, the director of the gallery, was eager to speak about his work, which I thought was great. I liked hearing about his experience within the art world, and how he came to where he is today.
I enjoyed visiting all of the galleries because I felt as though I had entered a new part of Boston. I loved the neighborhood in general, and I definitely plan on revisiting the galleries again soon.
