Thanks Alex! I’m getting into the habit of keeping my little camera with me so I can keep up with the blog!

Hi Joan,
Thanks for your feedback. I did use natural light and it seems to work best in the north room of my house on an overcast day, in the morning between 8:30 and noon. I also bought one of those backgrounds that go from white to black because I couldn’t get the gradation that I wanted on a solid background. Right now I am borrowing a good camera from a friend…it is a Nikon D50. I tried using my little digital camera, but it didn’t work for me. You don’t have to spend that much on a tripod though, a decent one runs for about $20. I know some people who use light boxes too and they seem to work well. I think it all depends on what you have to work with.
Good luck!

I think the photos are crisp and look true to colour. I am struggling to get a light box together for which I used the very helpful plans from John Glick’s. Did you use natural light for these pictures and did you have to get yourself a good (expensive) camera and tripod?

Not too shabby at all! I think I can judge all the pieces well enough to know if I want to buy one. And that’s the point, right?

This is extremely well written. I especially like the way your surroundings find their way into your work, along with your voice; very poetic.
