adventures in lighting

I'm sure by now you're probably all familiar with/sick of my twelve.second.timer blog. Well, I didn't really realize just how many pictures 365 is until I started taking a picture every day. So I've started experimenting with lighting. It's rather interesting, at least to me. Here is the same section of my face in four different lights (four of the most recent five pictures).
In the first, and most recent, photo I decided that my closet was too dark to take a good picture (also, I've been running out of creative photo ideas, hence me sitting in my closet) so I pulled out my "true light" craft light I received last Christmas. "True" light made me look tan. Compare that to the middle picture---taken outside in natural snowy light. I am pale and pink, the only color in my skin seems to come from the shadow of the hat. The third picture is indoors under the light of my compact fluorescent bulbs and comes in somewhere in between. The final photo is indoors with no lighting. I think the final photo is probably closest to the actual color of my skin (regardless of what "true" light might make you believe).
Do you have any good ideas for picture ideas or different lighting ideas?
