It's a ghetto-fabulous light diffuser!

The only bright room in the house is our uninsulated sunroom - which is currently 25 degrees. <BR/><BR/>The real question, of course, is whether I can build one big enough to put my son in.

You know, of course, that I will never do this, because I can barely manage to take a photo AT ALL, much less BUILD something to set it up properly. <BR/><BR/>I would like to take this opportunity to apologize if I have offended you with my yellow, flash-produced food photos. The photos look like shit, but the food tastes really good. Which is why I'm not willing to wait to eat it so I can take a good photo.
