Your Home is Unique. Your Real Estate Agent Should Be Too...
You love your Raleigh, Cary, Apex area home. You've raised your family in it. You've thrown parties, celebrated holidays, and created memories in your home that will last a lifetime. Those memories, AND your home, are as unique as you. But, your needs have changed; and now it's time to move on. As unique as your home is, the Real Estate agent who you choose to list your home should be too. These days, it takes a whole lot more than just the "usual" marketing to get a home … (32 comments)

All Bards Are Not Created Equal.
And Neither Are Real Estate Agents...

 
 
OK, so I "enhanced" this picture the other day while messing around with Photoshop.
And, as is the case with many of my "creations", I had no idea what to do with it. But I just knew I had to unleash it upon you, my dear readers!
I titled it "Bard" because thats what seemed to work. And then, I decided to look up the definition of the word "bard".
Apparently, according to the definition I came across, all bards are not created … (27 comments)

For those of you who aren't subscribed to my blog, I'll deal with you later!On a normal day, whatever that is, I use Photoshop to enhance my Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex area listing photographs. Color correction, cropping adjustments, and the like.But at night, while devouring a bag of pretzels, my personal vice, I'm "creating" all sorts of silly pictures.
It's my way of unwinding at the end of the … (28 comments)

Super Blogger Man!
How Does He Do It?!!!
Over the course of my time blogging, many of you have asked me how I'm able to blog on a daily basis and still have time to get any work done. Often I'm asked if all I do is play around with Photoshop,
or if I actually have a job! Well, my dear readers, it's time to dispel the myth! Yes, I do have a full time job helping people buy and sell homes in the Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex area.... and I do that... daily. But, at the end of each day … (29 comments)

Photoshop Fun For a Sunday Afternoon
Well my dear readers, it's been a very successful week for your humble Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex area Realtor. I picked up two new anxious (and qualified) buyers, got another buyer's offer accepted on a beautiful home in Cary, and put the finishing touches up on one of my listings in Raleigh that's set to close at the end of the week! So, now it's time to kick back, watch some football, and play around in Photoshop trying to learn some new techniques. Today's lesson was, "Turn a Photograph Into a Sketch" This one is really … (30 comments)

photoshop: Photoshop Phun for a Wednesday Morning - 09/28/11 10:08 AM
Photoshop Phun for a Wednesday Morning Well folks, I have a busy day ahead of me. But, in my endless quest to visit every web site ever created, I came across this picture on StumbleUpon. I don't know who the artist is, his/ her signature appears at the bottom left, and I would have loved to credit them because they did a great job. But naturally, being who I am, I just couldn't leave well enough alone! Yes, I'm the guy who would paint a mustache on the Mona Lisa!!! Enjoy your day everyone!

Goodnight Jane Russell - June 21, 1921 - February 28, 2011
Last week the world mourned the loss of Jane Russell, one of Hollywood's leading actresses in the 1940's and 1950's. Not knowing too much about her, but hearing all about her very colorful life on the news, I decided now was as good a time as any to to learn about one of America's leading "sex symbols" from the film world. It turns out she did live a very, shall we say, interesting life. So, over the last few days, when my work was done, and it was time … (35 comments)

If I Wasn't a Realtor....
Well, my dear readers, as many of you know by now, I like playing around with
Photoshop and I love my music!
In fact, if I wasn't a Realtor, and my war injury didn't keep me from playing for the
Yankees, I'd be a Blues guitarist like B.B. King!
OK, I wasn't really injured in the war. But I fell off a bar stool watching a John
Wayne movie! That counts as a war injury in my book!

Last night, while listening to some B. B. King, I was inspired … (61 comments)
