Of course, I took the veritable fuckload of pictures (something in the range of seventy). I am going to finish picking through them tomorrow morning when I have a clear head. In the meantime, these are my three favorites.
... three to six 60 Watt (I think) incandescent bulbs. Basically, I have those standing light fixtures that you pick up for twenty bucks at Office Depot (a single vertical rod with three adjustable lights on it). I usually end up using one for sort of general fill light and the other for extremely harsh direct side-light. That's why you will often see an unfortunate number of shadows on the wall behind me.
It's a Canon Powershot G2, my birthday present to myself last October. Great camera, but the autofocus is a little unreliable at distances shorter than four feet. I often end up having to fiddle with the manual focus (which is, of course, impossible with the remote... making this whole self-portrait thing a little more tedious than it need be). Regardless, I highly recommend it (at least until reasonably priced Foveon-equiped cameras become available).

... that seems to be the popular question. I responded to it up above (not to be rude by refusing to reiterate the explanation to you... I am merely tired and lazy... sorry).

I'm still going to get you Underoos, however.
And I want to talk to you online when you're drunk, not I. Just for variety.

You'll make it up to me, though. I'll make certain of that.
