  Friends and acquaintances often ask me for a camera recommendation and I am happy to help where I can.  I will even answer blog requests for camera recommendations because I enjoy it.  The problem is that in doing so I perpetuate the myth that new cameras take better pitures.  Buying a new cam...

I just wanted to share a couple of my last projects with you.  The project is the sandcastle, but the purpose of building the sandcastle is to photograph it after the sun goes down.  The first stands about three to three and a half feet at the tallest points.  It took about two hours to build an...

I recently evaluated a 21-foot Wonderpole from Polepixie that is particula rly suited for Pole Aerial Photo graphy (PAP).  The thing that makes it suited for PAP over other Wonderpoles is that it’s black.  Okay, that doesn’t mean you can’t do PAP with a Wonderpole of another color, but the black...

Yesterday I was given a shoot deadline for three homes.  The photos had to be ready today.  The biggest problem is that two of the homes faced North so any shot during the day would have the face of the house in shade providing little detail.  So I ran and shot the West facing house and set up th...

When I was young, I saw the Alfred Hitchcock movie, "The Birds."  It was the scariest movie I had ever seen.  The fact that we live on the major bird migratory route didn't help any.  Several times a year one can see thousands upon thousands of birds roosting in trees, on power lines and on tops ...

I shot this house for another agent yesterday and later put it up on a professional real estate photographer group for evaluation.  I like the group because these guys are quite honest.  It can hurt at times, but I've never seen anyone be mean.  So one of the comments I got indicated that he thou...

I know that most of you guys won't be all that impressed, but in extreme South Texas, the temperature rarely dips below 32 degrees.  So when it does and it's coupled with freezing drizzle, we get sights we aren't used to down here. Okay, so I helped it a bit with the water hose and it was all mel...

I spent a good part of the day at he South Padre Island Kite Festival on SPI, Texas.  Lots of unique kites, flags and wind toys.  And the multi-line kite demonstrations were phenomenal!  I used to fly two line kites and make kites myself, but things I saw today were way beyond anything I could ha...

Along the same lines as my other two blogs this morning, I encountered this article from Larry Lohrman at Photography for Real Estate about being a real estate agent AND a real estate photographer.  In my case with no real estate photographers in my area (at the time) I had no choice but to learn...
