Yesterday was a cold, icy, wet day ... but I felt the need to get outside and shoot.  Where better to shoot on a dreary day than a cemetery?  Guess I was feeling a little ghoulish. :-) This one had me scratching my head ... guess no one could remember Grandma's name? Think this guy was a fan? The...

Every year, the camera manufacturers bring out their latest models touting an ever increasing number of pixels.  In theory, the greater the number of pixels, the higher resolution the image.  But there's a lot more to it than that.   The size and price of a camera is, in great part, determined by...

Did I get your attention?  It's driving me crazy to see so many photos of toilets in the listings.  It seems that some listing agents feel like they have to take a picture of every toilet in the house!  I understand that it's difficult to get a shot of a bathroom without including the toilet, but...

One of my clients is selling his home and he's decided to rent for the next year.  I've been sending him rental listings (and perusing many of them myself) and I was shocked to see how many rental listings have NO PHOTOS AT ALL!  At least 80% of the rental listings have no interior photos.  I can...
