New gallery

I've started playing with Flickr, and realized they have a great slideshow interface that even gives the title and description overlaying the photo in a transparent box (click the big "i" in the middle of the photo). The other nice thing about Flickr is that you can make comments directly on a photo. I've setup a gallery of my work using Flickr, and you can see it here.

Phrugal phototent

Today I built the "phrugal phototent" that Jamie Donaldson describes. I's a PVC frame, with a window shade background and some reflectors, and a halogen lamp to light the subject. Very simple, under $50, and I think it works great.

Here are some samples I took. You be the judge.
