I’m back home, firing up the barbecue for Labor Day. I’ll have a bit more on Chicago tomorrow, but for now, wrap your heads around this item from SkyMall:

That’s right: In the midst of a catalog filled with elegantly photographed products nobody needs, a product nobody needs for elegantly photographing stuff which you can then sell on your own. Start your very own SkyMall! Or just take nice portraits of your favorite lamp and football, as seen here.

And you’ll note, of course, that those photos of the photo studios are very obviously themselves taken in photo studios. And in that studio holding the studio, just beyond the frame, there are probably lights that look just like those prop lights, lighting the lights in the studio for the studio.
