    I photograph inside a simple box made of foam core and use lights
    similar to the ones in the Adorama ad, though I think one can buy
    them more inexpensively. In fact, for the photography for the book
    that I am writing about shell forming with Betty Helen Longhi, we
    purchased quartz work lights from a Home Depot/Lowe's sort of place
    for $10-20 each. 

    I thought I'd mention that some years ago, I wrote an article about
    the photography method I use. It was published in SNAG News, and is
    on the website of Society of American Silversmiths. 

    Here's a link: http://www.silversmithing.com/1photo.htm 

    Though I have not updated it since I switched to using a digital
    camera as my primary camera, it is still the basic method that I use.

    Every few months, I receive an e-mail from someone thanking me for
    the article, saying that it had helped them. By the way, I owe a
    great debt to Les Brown, another Orchid participant, for getting me
    started. I still own and use the camera he helped me choose to buy
    when we were in grad school 30 years ago. 

    I hope this helps someone.
