Oh, so subjective. I’ve been watching comments on flickr and Stuck in Customs picking aport one of Trey’s newer pics. It’s not among his technical best, but I’m a bit… amused, I suppose, at the vehemence that people are showing.  Like the “If you’re going to post rubbish like this” comment – I guess I just don’t get it, what purpose does that serve?

I suppose I see it from multiple perspectives: first, the whole concept of taste in art – it’s entirely subjective.  You may be a highly discerning photographer, so you don’t like this one.  That’s you.

Second, what purpose does such a statement make?  It’s not like he owes people anything.  In fact, I would argue that a large part of the world owes him: he’s effectively introduced the majority of us to HDR.

Fortunately for us, Trey is apparently handling it well.  Bigger man than I.
