Re: Inexpensive background suggestions

[Lee John <john_f_lee@hotmail.com>]

Thank you to all that responded. My first trip is going to be to a fabric 
store to pick up some bulk material. Spraypainting or painting in my 
driveway sounds like fun, but will have to wait until spring owing to the 
fact it is about -35 C (approx -22 F) with the wind chill here in Ottawa.  
The cold temperature, in part, has led to my indoor portrait project.  Now, 
if it only wasn't dark at 5:00pm...

Thanks again for the tips. If there are any promising shots, I will be sure 
to post a link.

Regards,
John.
