So I come home wanting to use this night alone to clutter the living room as a makeshift studio. About a month ago I bought a screw-base flourescent bulb because I hear all the hotshot digital photogs are using this thing called a spiderlite, which basically is a disk with several flourescent lights on it. It's a nice steady light rather than a harsh flash. So I commandeer Chuck's clip/bowl light and stick it on my old tripod. The light was way too harsh, so to diffuse it I found an ice cream bucket in the garage, and taped some paper around the sides so the light wouldn't bleed to the background. I'm proud of my McGuyver moment. :-)
