Day1, Part 2:  The painters have arrived!  Yay!
It can really pay to hire an experienced painter who has a versatile team.  Talented painters who can also do a little carpentry and repairs?  Priceless.  And, if you ask, they are also happy to take some small unwanted items off your hands such as vacuums and radios.
And painters are not shy about offering their opinions on your paint colors.  Mom's condo was pink and green, with blue accents.  Yes, she was stuck in the '80s and proud of it.  When she moved into the condo, she finally … (9 comments)

Day 1, Part 1: The Condo Staging Diary; What's With All The Stuff? - 01/26/10 09:26 AM

Sometimes We Don't Want Anything Staged: Nature Photography - 01/11/10 01:24 PM
Sometimes we don't want anything staged.  Sometimes we want to preserve an instant without manipulation.  Sometimes we want to bring a captured moment into our home. 

"A glimpse of the beauty we see every day but often do not take the time to appreciate.  This is Nature in Photography.
Welcome to the works of award winning photographer Barry Rosa.  Barry's works are unmatched in clarity and composition.  None of the photos are staged or digitally manipulated to change what the eye really sees."
A short time ago I blogged about my friend, Karin Brey, a wonderful painter.  Barry is another … (5 comments)
