Rich Legg took this fantastic photo of a light bulb burning out:
What you are seeing is a capture of a lightbulb in the process of burning out. To create the shot, my friend Harley and I removed the glass enclosure of a standard household lightbulb (while leaving the innards intact) and powered it up in a pitch black room. The result was an immediate burn-out, which we were all too ready to photograph.
I was confused what the picture was at first until I saw the first line under it. Google pulled it up on a light bulb search (top 20). But it is neat. Great shot. So that is how all the black ends up on the inside of my bulb. Cool.
It's also beautiful.
The idiots above are well just idiots.
