Lighting - Extreme Gayness

The photo is about the enlarger lamps. Seriously.

My latest obsession is lighting. I can't get enough of it and I'm not particularly sure why. It's as if a dormant stereotype gene has activated, transforming me from the once gender-identity challenging iconoclast into... into... a host from a TLC home renovation show.

And know what? I really couldn't care less. Being really concerned how "gay" something looks is about as gay as you can get. It only answers to using the word "butch". Only us fags use that word, for real. I'll stop before I offend any more gender studies students. Really nasty lot, always got something stuck up their feminizing orifice.

So I was raiding my basement, which is full of unpacked boxes from the old house, and found my old darkroom equipment. Considering that traditional photo processing has all but moved entirely into the domain of the bourgeois, pretentious and ignorant I decided to repurpose re-used the enlarger lamps. Outfitted with some 23W compact fluorescent bulbs they provide nearly the equivalent of 200W of nice white light over my workspace.

I always marvel at what a great workspace I make for myself. Considering that I hardly do any worthwhile work with it anymore.

C'est la vie.
