After posting a quick Phillies Caps P&S snapshot, I got inspired to shoot some better shots and ended up doing a bit of a ball, glove, and cap photo study.

It's lobster season in San Diego. If you were so inclined, you could put a mask and snorkel on and get your own. Just make sure you don't get too many.
There were a couple of guys arrested a few years ago who had raided commercial fishermen's traps. The bed of their truck was full. Greedy.
The Virginia Opossum (Didelphis virginiana). Seen here trapped after terrorizing a chicken lot for several days and killing one, which was found dragged outside of the lot.
This is my cheapo strobist lighting set-up.
SOFT BOX:
18" cardboard box with sides and top cut out. Tracing paper has been taped over with scotch tape. Black foam core board in back, with skinny sheets to the sides (in the bottom photo only) to block some of the light getting directly on the backing. Black granite tile on the base to serve as a reflective bottom.
LIGHTING RIG:
I'm using 3 desk lamps, each with a 3-light ceiling fixture attached, and springs brought out further for added strength. Each light is a 25 cent fluorescent light at 23 watts and 1,600 lumens that I got from Grocery Outlet. One of the desk lamps is larger so I can use it to light directly from the top, and is currently not in use. Right now I have 9,600 lumens of light for my scenes in 2 directions. When the third is is actually in use, it's 14,400 lumens.
In total, I spent about $60, but I got some stuff for free. Had I bought everything, you could figure I would have spent about $120 maybe. Some of what I have isn't assembled yet either, light a 3 gang light box with switches for easier use of the lighting rigs.

After the beaver is pulled out of the water, rubbing snow into its hide will pull the water off and prevent the fur from freezing onto the truck bed as well as being covered in ice cubes.
‘Unknown story’ – photographic project designed for a series of workshops on the topic of ’Self-reflexion and personal awareness’.
Taken December 2013
Buddhist concepts are related with these notions. The legend says that the prince Siddhartha Gautama, later known as Buddha, was living a sheltered life in his father’s palace. Surrounded with every worldly pleasure, he was kept safe from all the struggles of the outside world. But one day, he discovered the sickness of some of his subjects and became deeply troubled because he could not understand the human affliction he was witnessing. He then decided to retire from the world in order to discover peace of mind, but the years spent in ascetic practice proved futile. He finally succeeded in his quest when he turned towards deep recollections and analysis of his own inner struggles. A more meaningful existence was the result of the development of a capacity for self-examination.
The aim of the 'Unknown story' project is to find the right posture and movement for the wood manikin in order to express a certain feeling or idea, lighting of the scene being also important. This experiment draws the attention off the facial expression of the subject, which is usually the one that reveals the feeling, in order to concentrate on other factors in a possible scene.
