332/365. Underestimation — forget about it
Some of you knew already, but this is my first play with the new charcoal seamless, and it's completely awesome.
Plus I got to finally sport my new Ted Baker Jacket (purchased in Paris during our Honeymoon)... and I'm pretty sure I made the jacket look better than they did on the Ted Baker website.
On another note, turns out I'm in competition with a Youtube star for "Flickr" Photographer of the Year. So if you're still up for this quest that seems to be taking forever (Mashable allows you to vote once a day (gah this makes me sick to my stomache)), you can still do this....
But nevermind that now, we've got real problems.... let's check out this stupidly complex setup!!

325/365. I know sentences — with real words too
I figured it's time to do another video treat for everyone. A lot of folks want to know how to create simple, yet elegant photos without crazy dramatic lighting (like 90% of my photos), plus this video answers yet again that timeless question "How do you pre-focus the camera when doing a self-portrait?"
Well here you have it.
See the strobist info video!
and of course for you old shulers (that's me trying to be hip and say 'old school')... here's the classic setup shot.
