The Photograph
And there it is: my first unedited, as-is photo from my self-made light box.
The first, for those of you who are fascinated by all minutia, is a $1 shelf ornament I bought from Pier 1 Imports probably 10-15 years ago. It’s about three inches long. It is a tribute to a lifetime habit of pointless shopping which came to a slow and reluctant end when I met Nancy. (She instituted an odious law: for each object that comes into the house, one must also leave. What would you give up to own a painted wooden fish? Much less, three.)
CFL stands for ‘compact fluorescent lamp’.
The important information, when buying bulbs, is to buy the ones that say “daylight”.
Should anyone feel compelled to make their own light box you can, of course, ask for advise. Or you could just type ‘make your own photo light box” in the subject line of Yahoo! and swiftly learn all that I know and easily far more.
Dogs are barking: need to go restore neighborhood peace.
