If you do it right, you can get that shade fabric to distort the lights.

I think I did it wrong, but I got the same results, so maybe I actually did it right. Who knows?

Anyway, here’s a picture.

If you ever wondered if those indentions in old-school dictionaries have a particular name, the answer is that yes, they do. They are called an index notch.

I took my camera into this place the other night because it’s summer and it’s Texas and I didn’t want to leave it hot there baking in the car.

That was the stated reason.

The real reason was….well, you know.
