Did I mention I like Tinker Toys?
It's kind fun gutting a light bulb :-D
I don't know if you saw my other thread about minimizing the clutter in my life, but most of my homemade stuff is in a landfill. That is until I get another bug up my arse. :-D
I'll see what I can do about those gear bag shots.

Not lately, but yes and I plan to build some large diffusion panels for strobe photography soon. |

I've built 6'x4' diffusion panels out of PVC and Sport Nylon (I think better than rip stop nylon). They work very well indeed.

There's other stuff to do other than photography? Get outta here!
My main other hobbies are landscape photography, reportage and macro. Oh wait. Scuba diving (PADI Divemaster and IANTD Nitrox) although as a student I have zero money to dive at the moment, motorbiking, Eve Online and photography.
I also really like video editing...most of my helmet camera videos of London congestion/hell are on YouTube...check this one for an example of the madness.
