And the laugh was genuine, too. I could tell.

Last night I went to a photography workshop hosted by CapMac, with special guest Trey Ratcliff of stuckincustoms.com on the HDR method.  Check out his site and browse the images if you're unfamiliar with HDR, it's pretty fascinating.  His presentation was nothing if not riveting, touching on every topic from how the eye processes lines, to the superiority of one software's algorithms to another's, to the future of vocation/avocation trends, ending with a well-reasoned philosophy of open-source.  Seriously this cat was impressive.  He walked us through the process of creating an HDR product, then stayed after long enough to answer "I've never heard of that" to my question, "what do you know about EDR photography?"  Then I broke the weird silence with the one-two punch of a witty comment and some subtle non-verbals which said, "that was sarcasm, please laugh!" And he did.  And he did.  It was awesome.
