Default Tambor!

Tambor Sombra

My mother brought this little guy home from cuba, for me; it's the best souvenir I've ever received, and I had a lot of fun photographing him.

I tried to build a light box for this, however, it failed, terribly (the light on the top fell right through, and the box itself was too small so you could see the edges; I had a good laugh). That said, the natural light and exposure techniques I used created a more dramatic image... wouldn't you agree?

As always ENJOY!
