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.
