DIY Project

I convinced Heather to help me with a little DIY project this evening. The project: A softbox. The idea is to create a box to soften light for portraits. I think it turned out alright. We will see the future of this.

Materials used:
Five 30"x20" pieces of foam board.
Disassembled metal clip on light.
CFL ~100 watt light bulb
Synthetic fabric
Duct Tape (of course)
Total cost of project: < $40.00.
