Not only does sense of humor vary across individuals, it also varies for any particular person depending on their mood and circumstances over time.<\/p>\n<p>Capturing a photograph that *everyone* thinks is funny isn&#8217;t going to happen. However, some photos will tend to make a greater number of people laugh. Then again, some of the more subtle or &#8220;dryer&#8221; photos that make <strong>fewer<\/strong> laugh overall, may be a <strong>greater<\/strong> pleasure to those &#8220;fewer&#8221; who <strong>do<\/strong> find it humorous.<\/p>\n<p>Humor in photography is obviously a tricky thing and difficult to score big with, short of producing obvious or gross visual &#8220;caricatures&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>For those who pursue humor photography from the creation end, however, it can be a distinct and intrinsic (self-evident)
