My children are all in love with Peter Pan. Now, who does he remind me of?

… “it’s a white pop up tent for dollys with different coloured wallpapers to hang inside!” No it isn’t. But it is my light cube 🙂 Now, off to buy a couple of decent lights and some daylight bulbs. A tripod would be good, but i can’t afford that. Yet. Muhahahahah!
