The last Throwback we did got me amped to dig out another old Bernie photo. This one was used in an Sect ad back in the day. One of my early and more successful (at least I think so) attempts at using daytime flash with light sensitive triggers. This was well before I even knew what a radio slave was. All you needed was a couple of 10 meter long sync cables and a couple of Sunpak peanut light sensors (I still use them from time to time) and some cardboard to shade them from the sun. Cloudy days also helped. Bernie steady killing it in Palmy on a not so friendly ledge.

    Haha, those were the days. I remember pulling my hair out with those shitty Kaiser triggers.
