Default Fun With Ghetto Lighting

I decided to experiment some more with ghetto lighting. This is me.
Things Are
Too bad I didn't take this for the last competition. I didn't use a reflector in this, so it's not eligible for the current one (the one that just ended today). I used a cheap desk lamp I got at Ikea as the lighting for this photo.

IKEA lamps make great ghetto lighting. I even think there is a group on flickr called IKEA lit Portraits.
