 As much as I want to buy a probe camera and photograph the insides of all sorts of things.....

I had a lot of fun doing this. The idea came to me pretty early but didn't shoot until almost the end. I crumpled up a brown paper bag and tore a small hole in it. Since my studio is pretty much a storage room at the moment, I shot this in my kitchen, using the vent light for illumination. I also used a can of fog spray to get the beam. I took about a dozen shots and I liked how the "cave" looked, but it was boring and missing something. Originally I thought I'd put a mushroom in there, but the ones I had were just to enormous for the scale. Then I thought a raspberry but didn't have any.

So I wandered around the kitchen looking for something that might work, and I spotted this little ornate pillbox, which was absolutely perfect. Then just a ton of shots to get the fog going and the beam to land just right on the pillbox. There were several contenders.

I hear the Indiana Jones theme running in the back of my head. That's worth some extra pointage.
