Studio setup and other stuff

I’ve been putting together a studio for a lack of a better word.  A place that I can work on my spinning, knitting and sewing.  I got everything setup over the summer, and now it’s also become my photography studio too.  I didn’t realize how much I was going to want to take pictures of the yarns I create or the objects that I knit, but the photo bug kind of bit me pretty hard after reading Ashley Martineau post from Neauveau Fiber Arts on Build[ing] your own Photography Lightbox for $37.  It’s such a simple thing really and it made such a difference in my photos.  Now I just need to get a better camera.  Right now my cell phone camera is better than my real camera if you can believe that.  Here is what my studio and light box look like:

And here is an example of the types of photos I can take using my new lightbox and my cell phone camera:

What to do today…

Well, I’m going to blog a little bit, spin, knit, maybe read.  I may go grocery shopping, but that would require a change of cloths and leaving the house, neither are on my “to-do” list for the day. I have tons of photos of my latest spinning projects I want to post, but I need to find the best way to organize and present them to the world.  Give me a few hours and I’ll be better prepared to deal with things… my coffee hasn’t had time to work its magic on my brain…
