Like “love,” “hope” is one of those ridiculously disproportional words that by all rights should be a lot longer.

I don't ever want this site to become one of those 'buy this, this is neat' sites. Everything I will talk about will be something I have bought. I will always try to review things completely and give my honest opinions and recommendations. That being said, this post is going to be a little different. I've been waiting for this product from Khory (there's a link to her entire store) for a while. I've been a huge fan of her texture/material collections and her light sets for a long time. I'm not one to use pre-made light sets often. Generally, unless it is a set designed to work with a particular prop or environment, I buy light sets for inspiration and for adapting to my own needs. Khory always came up with unique lights and I always tried to pick them up to see what I could learn.
