Some of you have seen my DIY softbox. I had it at Sheepie's last month. One of the problems with it is that it is not easy to cart around because of its shape. After a little bit of creative thinking, I came up with a collapsable design. After 30 minutes in my lunch break on Monday and another hour yesterday, I had a new collapsable soft box. It works, too.
