How fitting that part two is on Day three-oh-TWO.
This whole thing works because when you break a bulb's outer casing off it burns out a lot faster. Filaments oxidize as they burn, and become weaker. To combat this there are special gases in each bulb that slow the filament's degradation. When you remove the casing, by the methods which I detailed yesterday, it just gets really old really fast, and basically burns out in about a second or maybe two depending on the thickness of the filament, which is directly proportional to the wattage of the bulb. There ya go, this science lesson brought to you by SM Photography. Thanks for tuning in, and make sure to check back next week for a special editorial piece we call "Why is Steve so behind on his blog?"

Wow, the shapes almost look like the human body. Could be a sculpture seen from a slight side/back angle, an arm raised, the slope down the neck onto the back. Steve - an artist not only of photography but smoke sculptures!
