QUICK DIY DOWNSHOOTER
You need:
- A phone with capture software. Voice activated in helpful.
- A piece of glass, like a pyrex dish or old window. Obviously be careful.
- Books!
- Painters tape
- Paper and drawing implement(s)
- Light source
In this example, I have a baking dish suspended over a pad of paper that is taped to a table. My phone is resting in the dish, camera side down, and the paper is illuminated by the lamp.
The tape keeps the paper from moving, and having some kind of camera controller is helpful, so that the phone doesn’t move, either.

August 2026 WIP
I have a working title for this, and a general idea of where to take it. Often, some idea will grab my attention, and I’ll set out working on it. It’s during the working on it part that it reveals itself, usually very different from the original inspiration. I think this is when the idea transmutes into something that’s mine – perhaps my expression of that original inspiration. I noticed that happening with this one.
I was driving home from the office when an idea hit me, and I went to the art store on my way back. I bought two surfaces, and got to work using the old paint from my dining room. As I was painting, I let my mind wander around the idea, and *POP* a new path appeared. I love that.
