Ok, so here is what I am trying to figure out... The photos to this article are all distorted when I view them. Twisted or skewed is the best way to describe them. Now this article is written by someone who is supposed to be an expert in Digital Photography? Huh? Are you trying to be "creative"? Artistic? It does not inspire me to go buy your book.

  yes, i agree with the previous poster. the pictures make steve's head look like that drippin' snot monster thing in the alien movies starring the sigourneys weaver. i have seen steve (and his impressive line of turtlenecks) in person and I can vouch for the fact his head does not even look closely in shape to that of the monster in any of the alien movies. i'm afraid that the author's photo books might also tend to teach how to make those horrible no-so-steady cam shots that cause nausea on MTV and other terribly produced cable shows. I will have to stay away too.

  I have his book on digital photography and it's a good one. The photos in it don't look anything like the ones here. I bet he wasn't close enough to the stage to take a close up. These look like shots from the screens they may have had in the room.
  
  Look at his pictures from previous articles and blogs. They're just fine.

  Geez...
  
  OK, here's the story. On the day of the keynote I had an all day tutorial that I was teaching for Macworld on Digital Photography. The tutorial started at 11 am. I knew Steve wouldn't be done in time for me to go set up for the all day class, so I would have to leave early.
  
  So I sat more in the back of the hall so as not to disturb others when I had to leave while the event was underway. That's called being polite. Even though I wasn't in the first row, I thought some of our readers might like to see a few images to accompany the article, so I took pictures off the screens.
  
  I left the hall at 10:40, as I knew I would have to, and had a full classroom of students ready for me to start on time at 11:00, which I did.
  
  If you guys read my books, you'll learn that I encourage creative problem solving, so that no matter the circumstances, you get the shot.
  
  I appreciate the one poster that gave me the benefit of the doubt.
