making a light box: day one
by Kay
I want to build a light box so I can take photos of food, old square nails, and other things I haven’t thought of yet. I’ll put the box on an unused workbench in our basement. This project doesn’t take long unless you first need to clean out the basement, weatherproof the cellar door, hang curtains, and run a source of electricity.
So far, the best part of the job is finding a bottle of sparkling wine. I took the wine upstairs. Then I finished cleaning up the area. The cellar door needed some new felt strips. It’s warmer now.
While I was at it, I hung an old curtain. I get creeped out at night if I can’t see someone looking in. No one looks in. I’m not that interesting.
With the workbench cleaned up, floor swept and curtains hung, it was time for supper and maybe some of the wine I found.
I’ll work on the light box tomorrow.

That is pretty much how most projects go – something always has to be done in order to do what you wanted to do in the first place!
The only thing I can think of is to ask…………………is your next project putting a kitchen in your basement………………..so you don’t have to carry all those baked goodies down the basement for photos using that new light you are making???????
I’ve just discovered your blog through Gretchen’s… I’m your new follower:) Can’t wait to see your lightbox, I’ve been thinking about setting up a permanent set.. somewhere…
Cool lightbox. I should build the same. Thanks for the instruction.
