I was having a bowl of chili at the 9th Street Deli, when Pippa Letsky and Mr. Bones showed up to play awhile. She said take some photos, but the only gear I had was my camera, 60mm macro lens, flash & TTl cord, old junk carry-in-the-trunk tripod and a white plastic grocery bag.
Luckily the tripod was a tall one, so I used it as a lightstand (camera bag to weigh it down so I wouldn't pull it over with the TTL cord); the plastic bag, fluffed out, as a diffuser.
The entire venue is about 10' square, so a 60mm was a little too long to get any overall shots, even with my full-frame D700.
I managed to get a couple of fair shots.

I needed something tough but small from which to hang my iPhone mount, but it needed to screw onto any old tripod. My kooky idea for the day was to dump some JB-Weld into the bottom of a short section of pipe, and let it form its own "nut."
Fuckin' A. Worked like a charm.
Those are Nature Valley Dark Chocolate Granola Thins. These could only be improved if I had a fire to toast the marshmallows with.
Improvisation is a huge part of all Love Drama sessions. Kirsten, the company director has studied with Keith Johnstone, the leading pioneer in improv.
