Uncle Bob (aka Robert C. Martin) of ObjectMentor gave a blisteringly awesome, impassioned, and thoughtful keynote at RailsConf 2009 in Las Vegas about professionalism in software development. He’s one of the more animated and intense speakers out there. It is a challenge to photograph Bob on stage, however, and to catch his intensity. He moves quickly as he underlines each point with a gesture or expression. It’s the best kind of challenge really, as when it all comes together, the results are great.

This is one of 187 blog posts on duncandavidson.com. If you care to read more, two posts I recommend are Dear Speakers, a set of thoughts for public speakers that I pulled together in March, 2009 and Tilting at the Windmill, One Last Time, a call to Flickr to include important EXIF and ITPC metadata in the photographs they provide to the public.
