I was listening to both "Acts" of Vangelis' fantastic "Heaven and Hell" and got to thinking about whether I could make portraits more vivid with HDR.
So I set my stuff up and shot this. I had to stand very very still...
Retook this probably four or five times; it's inconvenient to try to bracket from in front of the camera without a cable release.

And what did I learn from this?
HDR-ifying people doesn't really make anything more vivid; it just brings out all the imperfections in their face.
Namely: I haven't shaved for a couple of days.

HDR from 3 exposures
Photomatix Pro 3 for tone mapping, Photoshop for crop, resize, and slight colour correction(a little yellow, tapped the blue level up some)

Hey dude, thanks so much for the feature! You so didn't have to do that, that was really nice of you!
Also, great post, I read the whole thing. It's so cool that you actually did a piece on such an obscure style of portrait.

Again, thanks!
