As mentioned in some comments on Justin's blog (http://www.humzoo.com/p00bahr/photos/2/1/), I made a softbox light one time out of some really questionable materials. This is after I found a way to mount it on a light stand, but believe me, it was not sturdy. A slight breeze would send this thing straight to the floor, which wasn't good because after being on for a couple minutes, it would set anything on fire that it came into contact with.

There's an old Canon AE-1 in the closet too, which I still have. Someday I'll shoot another roll of film, I just know it.

Dave Heinzel Thursday, May 15, 20083) I do give you mad props for your inventiveness. I used to put wax paper over chicken lights when I was in college because I couldn't afford real lights. Just hot lights that had a clamp on them, aka chicken lights, with some wax paper made for interesting portrait sessions. It was get to the o.
