 Sorry, I didn't actually buy this, but I COULD have, right? ;-) I just find the idea of selling "origami boulders" so funny! I'd love to know if he has ever had an actual paying customer!

As per explanation on that (very real) website, I scrunched up some paper into a wad. The room was quite dark, the light came from a small flashlight wrapped in tissue paper to soften it.

PP: Slight crop, cleaned up a few scratches on the box, burned the black background to make it totally black everywhere, resized, smart sharpen, save for web.

I love the idea of buying an 'origami boulder' on ebay.

Nice composition and creation of leading diagonal lines. Not sure if it is just because of the lighting but the colours seem a tad flat to me, which means that the shot perhaps lacks a great 'pop'
