Photographer’s Ignite! I’ve Got To Be Honest: The Fascinating Truth About Lying

Last month I stood in front of 3,000 people on a Sunday night in Las Vegas, while at WPPI 2012, and delivered a 5-minute talk about The Fascinating Truth About Lying.

After giving a number of much longer presentations to even larger groups, you wouldn’t think this would have been that difficult. It’s just five minutes, right?

But it’s 5 minutes completely out of your control – the slides move forward every 15 minutes, no matter where you are, and the entire presentation has to be memorized and all the slides are turned in weeks in advance.
And IT WAS QUITE DIFFICULT
(and I was quite nervous).

When Kevin Kubota introduces me here, he jokes about how scared I was when I did a very different presentation last year. It’s funny, but he wasn’t making that up – I was quite terrified that time, too.

The most bizarre thing about watching this back as a recording is not being able to really hear the audience. This was an evening event, and the sound of the audience sounded deafening to me when I was up on the stage, complete with a mic echo. But when you watch this, it all sounds so smooth and so controlled.
Fascinating, really.

    In my experience, people dislike someone being honest with them almost as much as they dislike being lied to. Truth seems to be a painful pill to swallow.

    Thanks for your beneficial post. In recent times, I have come to understand that the actual symptoms of mesothelioma cancer are caused by this build up of fluid involving the lining of the lung and the breasts cavity. The illness may start while in the chest place and distribute to other areas of the body. Other symptoms of pleural mesothelioma cancer include weight-loss, severe deep breathing trouble, a fever, difficulty ingesting, and bloating of the face and neck areas. It ought to be noted that some people with the disease usually do not experience any serious signs at all.
