An example taken with the Lightbox I created. Available light is from the camera store I work at in Eugene, Oregon.

More posts this month that all last year.

And yet no one to read them. :D


More browsing of images on my local drive, I found and old photo of Mel and I. Sometimes I don't realize how our size differs, she's as big as I am in my heart, what does size matter?


Now, if I could only find that shirt.


And then of course there's my hand shot from the camera phone after my back surgery. Now there was some fun!




Thank god for the Vicodin ... back pain truly takes a hell of a lot out of ya.

I was browsing through Photo.Net's best photographers, and noticed this guy. Doesn't have a log in his portfolio, but I can't wait to see what else he posts.

Homemade Snoot and Lightbox


For Valentines day, my wife created a snoot for me. She used a 24 ounce beer can, which she had to empty first of course, and then wrapped it in gaffers tape and formed the end to match my Nikon SB800 and SB600 flashes. Not only was this a cool personal gift for her to make for me, but it's been really cool to shoot with and thinking of her whilst I do.

She inspired me to develop and create my own Light box for my flashes as well. I used cardboard, gaffers tape, aluminum foil, and printer paper. Drew a pattern out, luckily I got it right the first time as the second one was not as perfect. I have taken several shots with it and love what it does and how easy it is to use. I'll post some more pics once I have a better collection.
