Step 6: Take Good Photos
Words alone will only get you so far. To have a decent chance of convincing someone of a far-fetched claim, you've got to have convincing imagery. Some folks are pretty PhotoShop capable, and go that route. But it's my opinion that good ole' mocking up a situation and photographing it works best.
Everything in my photos is 100% real. It's my explanations of what's in the photos that's fake. I did use oil on the thread; but the thread wasn't 100% cotton. I did nuke the graphite in my microwave; but only for about 10 seconds (and it ARCED LIKE CRAZY). There was a lump of carbon left over; but it was overcooked angel hair pasta, not diamond. I really did make the pendant in the last step; but it was just a crumb of burnt pizza crust encased in epoxy.
