Fall is just around the corner...

Earlier in the week I bought a few gourds with the intention to use both as a seasonal decoration and as a blip. So today I went out and bought materials to build a DIY lightbox. Built the box myself and it looks pretty decent, but I'm not getting the desired effect. I bought daylight bulbs as instructed, but my photos don't have that crisp white background that I was hoping for, even after photoshop correction. Not sure what is going is wrong...

Despite that, I will introduce you to a blip using my brand new lightbox and my gourd.
