When do you sleep?

I typically go to bed between 11:00-11:30pm and get up at 6:45am. In fact, I have a hard time keeping my eyes open in between those hours. ;-)

6:45AM?? [:S] Crap that's about 3-4 hours after I go to bed [:D]

Oh the days when I could go to bed late, get up early and be fine.



But now... it's typically ~midnight these days and wake up just after 7am, wake-up... shower, walk the dog, make breakfast, run out the door before 8:30am to be at work.

And the nicest thing about it is you only had to do it once...........[:D]


Iculpin waisted no time in putting it to good use.


Now all we need a thread with the list of strobist gear and where to get. Sean, just a list, not a book with illustrations...[:D] That's what I meant in the first place.


I am glad, though, that you went overboard...it's greatinstruction my friend!! ...[:)]


Did you see the little deal I posted here:? That's nota bad way of sumarizing flash basics if I do say so myself. With a little tweaking we coulduse that outline for folks wanting to know why they're struggling with flash. What d'ya think?

I don't think it's long or in-depth enough. If you can read it in one sitting, what's the point? (Seriously though, itlooks succint and to the point...I'm not sure I could have done it in so few words). ;-)
