Probably headed for the basement but could not resist. Soldered the hots of each bulb and drilled holes on board. Drilled second hole for negative. Zaped it with 120 and then 3 volts dc for flashlight bulb.

This was originally titled, the Tungsten's and their bright offsprings.

The voters decided that bulbs can not exist in families. The baby did not even move them. lmao.

My dear Mentor and friend,
It is a pity that this great creative work did not get the recognition it deserved. You must know it is awesome, a fabulous creation from your mind. The rest is actually immaterial.
Thanks for your kindness and support.
Peter

Return for comment. Good out of the box thinking. Some dollhouse home furniture and a small living room would have made this a real hoot, but it works in concept as is. How do you get the lighting to work? Wiring on the back side?

Interesting idea. You forgot the one with the strange hair and tattos. I'd like to see a little more contrast between foreground and background.

i like that you've gone to the trouble to have the bulbs lit. i think an external light source other than the "Family" would have helped. your backgound line is a bit distracting. perhaps you could have better exposed the shot so your background was closer to black. there are some splotches around the right bulb wich are very apparent, be they dust or miss editing. the composition overall seems very flat to me...perhaps you could have taken the pic from a different angle.

Is there a hole in the mat and a wire running up behind the bulb? I hope you explain this one in the description :)

I don't get it. I know, you were trying to be out of the box or some such idea. But I just don't get the concept of family from the pic. Well shot, nice focus, good lighting.

Cute! And technically impressive. Not sure it says "family" but I'll give ya the benifit of the doubt.

CLEVER. Well done. On 2nd review, I'm appreciating this more. I just realized that you can see the filaments in the 3 clear bulbs and the other one looks like the "dad." That is very imaginative and smart. 8

interesting take on the challenge. Not sure I like the reflections showing on the sides of the large clear bulb

Very nice set-up (must have taken awhile to stand them up and get them alluminated). The reflections on the large clear bulb are a little distracting.
