A cardboard easel with a wood strip glued to the lower front edge displays the goal/masterlist booklet with the goals on the front, the in-progress project booklet with the action slips on the front, and the scaled down to-do list. The easel can also display inspirational material which is bound with Rollabind-like disks at the top.
There is more on the slip method on my website.

I've noticed that using the tripod collar makes a lot of difference in stability when using the extension tubes. Without it, the lens becomes a little bit wobbly and unstable, especially when the full set of extension tubes and extender are being used. The tripod collar I'm using is NOT the Canon one as I found it just too expensive.
Strobist information:
Rim lighting with two D-Lite 4 It with Portalite 66x66cm soft boxes.
Don't know why I bothered to set this up and take it -- I like the Zeiss 25mm so well that I have a Zeiss 35mm f/2 coming in soon. But here it is, anyway. I'm going to need to sell one or two of these.
Of these lenses, the Zeiss is the most predictable. Crazy sharp almost everywhere and under most conditions. The Nokton needs more time on the camera, but the shots I've managed to get in focus look good. The Summarit has an old-school low-contrast, "glowing" look to it. I need to get in more shots with it. The 90mm Elmar-C is very sharp, again, if I manage to get it focused.
I think I'll probably end up with a 25, 35, 50, 75 setup by the time I'm done horse trading.

This is the lighting setup that I used this morning to take a few pictures of hummingbirds coming to one of our feeders. I prefer not to have the feeder in my pictures so I clipped a couple of branches with flowers onto the support for the feeder. It's a more natural look. When I'm using this setup, I'm inside the house shooting through the window after first removing the red curtain. I took this picture after I had put everything away, so I had to set it up again, and the lights are not all at the height I used to originally photograph the hummers.
The setup is a YN560, a YN560-II and a YN560-III on light stands pointed at the feeder. The strobes are triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N on my camera.
People seem to find these setup shots helpful so every so often I post one to share what I've learned from others. I didn't figure this out by myself. Other setup shots I've posted are in my Setup Shots album.
One light setup, family portrait. Gold reflector bouncing sun light. Camera setup 5d mk III with 70-200 f/2.8 IS II, f/5.0 1/320 ISO 200
My setup as of December 2009.
I've got a 22" HD Ready TV with Xbox 360 Elite, Playstation 3 (40GB), Nintendo Wii, Playstation 2 and N64 hooked up to it in some form. The only thing I really use the HD for in the Xbox atm. 3 racks to hold games; I've got 22 Xbox games, 23, PS3 games, 11 Nintendo Wii games, 13 N64 games and 43 PS2 games in there. I also have a stand near by to hold my GH guitars and such
Here is my setup that many of you were asking for!
I would suggest to everyone that it is NOT a good idea to have your drop setup in any room with carpet. I was able to get my whole setup cleaned and all the nasty water into a gallon pitcher. But that gallon pitcher never made it out of my room. Now it rests as a BIG green splotch on my carpet. Lovely
I spent many hours trying different setups. Most of my drop pictures i have uploaded recently have been in different setups i had. This is my final setup that suited me well!
