The home office is such a versatile co-worker. Able to morph into a modern day recording booth, mutlimedia editing suite, and - of course - a photo studio.

Even when you can't come up with the tripod you KNEW you had somewheres around, the tried and true home office comes up with trusty alternatives, creatively offering up all manner of rigging to get the job done.
