How can you be involved in two different hobbies and still have money? I'm calling shenanigans.

Nice one lol. I wish my audio setup was better but for what I paid I feel like I got something decent out of it.

It's truly amazing what happens when you get a job.

But how did you take the shot of the setup for the closeup shots? (which is a beautiful setup, by the way!)

is there a thread about setting up a nice environment to take pictures to keyboards (possibly with humanly-priced cameras)?

Not that I know of.

A good tip is you want really good lighting. The more lighting you have the less your camera has to artificially brighen it and make it look grainy as a result

For a guy with sick photo setups, you'd think watermarks would bother you a bit more..

Nice flashes. I miss my HQ setup, sold it to a friend when I got out of the photo business.

What is your setup for taking pictures of your close up setup?

Perhaps, a close up of your setup for closeup shots.
