Took about four hours, lasted about three years, and the thing looked so incredibly cool that my photog. classmates took to covering *their* SLRs the same way. I can't quite recall why I felt the need to do this, but, what the heck . . . It's the closest I'll ever come to founding a *school* of photography.
