I'm a Strobist

In the last couple months I've become a strobist. I've put together a lighting system based on the ideas of David Hobby at strobist.com

I've been piecing together lighting that I can keep in my Chrome Messenger Bag Here's some examples of my most recent work.

Photos from the Archive

The first two photos on my Flickr account. They were taken while I was at college in Wyoming back in 05. Unfortunately I had all my photos from when I started up to about a year ago when I moved on CDs in a little CD book and I haven't been able to find it since I moved to a new house. At least I have some low res versions on Flickr. Now I have all my photos on external hard drives. I probably should back those up too.....

Bacon Day Breakfast

Step 1 Wake Up
After 11 AM



Step 2 Buy Bacon
Get the good stuff. I don't have a butcher nearby but the organic market down the street came through. Thick cut. All natural. No antibiotics. No added Hormones. All Vegetarian feed. No Preservatives. MMMMMMM. Happy pigs make happy bacon.



Step 3 Open Bacon
Use a fancy Japanese knife if you want a cool looking picture.



Step 4 Warm Pan
Put a little oil in the pan so they don't stick and warm the pan on medium heat. Wait till it is hot to put the bacon in.



Step 4 Cook Bacon
Put the bacon in the pan. Don't crowd. let it cook.



Step 5 Wait
Take a deep smell of the glorious bacon.



Step 6 Almost Ready to Flip
Do the first flip when the bacon is starting to get brown on the pan side.



Step 7 Flip Bacon
Don't just flip. You must rotate to ensure maximum cookage.



Step 8 Be the Bacon
You must employ all 5 senses to achieve bacon nirvana. Ignore your personal ego. It's all about the bacon.



Step 9 Flip Again
When the edges start to get crispy it's time to flip the bacon again.



Step 10 Perfect Bacon
I like the whole range of bacon. A little crispy on the edges, mostly crunchy, a little soft on the wrinkles.



Step 11 The Bacon Gods Will Strike You Down if You Waste That Bacon Grease
May I suggest eggs?



Step 12 Holy Shit



Step 13 Lightly Dress Eggs
I went with some sea salt, fresh ground pepper, and some hot sauce.



Step 14 Eat
Wallow in the glorious amazing bacon. You are one step closer to enlightenment.
