Who is Bob Heil? He built that box for Peter Frampton, friends with Joe Walsh, worked with The Who, the Grateful Dead etc – get more details from his Wikipedia page.
It was excellent.

Lincoln City Centre Photographs
On Friday evening, I went into Lincoln city centre, with a couple of friends to shoot some photos of the Christmas lights and anything else of interest we came across. Between them they had a Sony SLR, and two Nikons – I took my iPhone.
One of the apps I wanted to try out was 6×6, a camera app that takes square images. I know you can crop any photo you take with an iPhone to a square but this app forces you to create your image inside a square, something that photographers used to do when using medium format cameras with 6cm by 6cm film frames. 6×6 also has a setting to take only mono photos (no second colour image saved) – it gives a similar experience to when I used to shoot black and white film.
A number of the following shots were taken on Steep Hill – the best street in the UK.
The Pie Shop used by Lawrence of Arabia.
And the rectangle shot for comparison.
Another camera app I used was Pro HDR, when the app takes two images to make the final shot, it takes some interesting ghost images.
And in colour…
