As is probably apparent, my latest thing is photography. I've always liked taking pictures or at least, telling Cylinda to take a picture of this or that. I'm very good at telling her what to do. But now that I've got my own grown-up camera, I've decided I don't want to shoot the normal things people want to see. Oh no, I want to take photos of household products in a sterile, completely fake environment. So, I built a lightbox.
It's made from a cardboard box, drawing paper and masking tape and it's ghetto-fabulous. There are some shop clamp lamps and some blinding light bulbs to light the thing. The cat isn't part of the lightbox (yet). It's working out okay so far, but I'm probably going to get one more lamp so that I can truly blind myself for good. I'd post some photos, but you see, they're boring as hell. It's actually for microstock photography and if you know what that is, then I'm sorry because it's a strange bug to be bitten by.

I know I say odd things, too, but I try not to say them loudly and publicly.
