    No kidding... that is a good ideal. How can anybody be uptight if they see you walking around with that on your head.

    I have all the materials I'll need right here in my photo cabinet. Haven't used that little umbrella in a long time. Now I can get it out and dust it off. Thanks Allison you made my day.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Are you gonna make one for everyone here OT? Do you do international shipping? And I'm not kidding!

    Hubby asked me last night, if I would wear one of those on my head SERIOUSLY. I said, "if it got me the shots I wanted, YES!" He laughed.

    Sorry Allison I only have one umbrella. And besides one of us walking around the western world looking like that is enough. I don't care if we are on different sides of the pond.

    Inspector Gadget should have been a photographer. He could do this with a hairlight and fill too. I suddenly had an idea for a Halloween costume. :idea:

    For real?...

    I'm trying to figure out if that was a serious story (sorry, no time to really read through it).

    Yeah, the device seems kinda clever, but the lighting on most of the example photos is pretty bad, so I'm not sure if it's something you'd consider a legit photo accessory... :idea:

    Should protect you from alien radio waves, though...

    I'm guessing that in Japan they were more worried about Godzilla than aliens is the reason they didn't market the multi functionalism of this device. I know that in my neck of the woods that could be a real selling tool. People all over would be throwing away the colanders and tin foil.
