Some ideas are simple. Simple to the point of how didn’t I came up with this… Such is this clever repurposing that Eric Krügl  gave his business cards book. Those little black books are slowly disappearing from our world and being replaced with the contact app on our smart devices…

But then you look at all your Light Blaster Gobos and Gels that you cut for your strobes and you realize that it is that book that can bring order to them all. It is the simplicity of the solution that makes it so good so I am going to let the photos talk:

P.S. I did a small operation on a Think Tank Pixel Pocket Rocket to hold my gels and gobos, but now I think I am going to switch to a business card book.

    The link to ‘Light Blaster Gobos’ in the beginning is missing http.

    I really like the idea and it’s cheap to try but I can’t help wondering about its big size.

      Thanks Stefan,
      I guess it depends on the book you use and the number of items you have to manage. There are always smaller books :)
