Got a 'real' light

Spent the profits from my photo shoot on a studio light. Woohoo. What a difference it makes. I don't get a heck of a lot of great light in the living room (where there's room to set up the backdrop) so this has taken care of the icky shadows I was getting. (Yes, in spite of trying to reflect what light I had off lots of white foamcore!)

My dear girl is beautiful, and she loves modeling for the test shots. After B saw this I think he went out for more ammo...

Off to Ohio this weekend. (Gaak... 7 hours on a bus each way with my Mother?? WTF was I thinking?) I feel so National Lampoon's Vacation... Off to see the world's largest basket. Ok. So we're gonna go to the factory, and do girly stuff, and weave a basket. I guess all will be well as long as she doesn't end up like Aunt Edna!
