In case there is a photographer on earth who doesn't know Strobist.com, here's a reason to visit for the first time: David Hobby catches up with the 17th century painter-slash-lighting genius in a post entitled Beers With: Rembrandt.

It's a fun read and an impressive demonstration of the power of knowing how to reverse-engineer lighting. David and the son of a miller and a baker's daughter riff on Vanity Fair covers, Getty's domination of the stock business, and the importance of keeping a current self-portrait while exploring the lighting techniques utilized in some of his most famous paintings, including the elaborate "The Night Watch" (the old master likes his Alien Bees bounced off white foamcore or set up behind huge sheets for fill).

It gets my vote for best Strobist post ever.
