I'm very proud to report that for less than $100 and 3 hours of work, I set up a new studio last night. A quick trip to Home Depot for some basics + lights, a 90% discounted black fabric and a bit of help from Colin and voila. I've got a backdrop system, which allows me to switch the fabric depending on my needs, a fluorescent light on a tripod, a smaller halogen lamp and I even crafted a box for one of the lights to make it more focused. I dragged a full-size mirror in the room too, which I can use to redirect light.
The setup is nothing to write home about, though perfectly respectable for blogging purposes. Now I just need models - I think I've depleted Colin's patience (a monumental task), doing self-portaits gets old very quickly and the dogs are too hard to keep still. Time to ask for favors of my friends :-)
Sorry for the crappy pictures, but this gives you an idea:
