DIY Lightbox in a suitcase

Still shooting a little transparency film and need a cheap way to look at it?  Found this over on instructables.com.

Don't know.  It just appealed to my geek side

Suzie is confused, Ryan... [grin]

LIGHT box not SOFT box... LOL

Yeah, it looks that way

You can use 'em to trace, but that's not what I used mine for.  Before I started shooting digital I shot almost totally transparency film.  So instead of pulling up a folder of images in Bridge you'd have a box full of slides strewn out over the board and used a loupe to pick out favorites.  Tough on the back, but a lot of fun. 

LOL

I grew up with a dark room in my house and in the last house we lived in before I got married (at age 20) it was in the room next to mine... that could be why I don't miss it.  My husband's family also had a dark room, what are the odds?  He liked it, but it was on the other side of the house. 
It's not that the chemicals are really that over powering, I just didn't care for the smell.
I didn't do much in the dark room either at home or in high school, so I really don't know that much about it.  I do say this all the time though - digital took away the things I hated about film, kept the good things and added so much more fun stuff.

I still have the lightbox I "borrowed" from work.
