ActiveRain success story, well sorta

By
Real Estate Agent with HER Realtors

An ActiveRain success story, sorta.

Yesterday I heard from someone working on a TV show asking to use one of my photos on an ActiveRain post  for a TV show. I am not sure it will happen. 

This is NOT the photo.  It is not a photo of a house.  It is a photo of a sign.

I have to find the photo.  It is one I have used over and over and over on ActiveRain and I have made it real small for my use.  The voice mail yesterday gave me the name of the post he found the photo on.  That photo  is on ActiveRain, and my ActiveRain Outside blog, Discover Columbus OH - Columbus real estate.   

Is it an award winning gorgeous photo?  Nope.  It is just a photo I snapped with my old cell phone and used over and over to identify an area... It is a hyper local photo.   The story he is telling is not about Columbus, but Columbus is in the story.

If the photo gets used I'll be bragging about it and name dropping.  It's a different kind of ActiveRain success story.  Just fun.

It is nice to know that there are professions beyond just Realtors, mortgage broker, inspectors and stagers. It would be great if this writer gave us writing tips. It sounds to me like you should be giving us photo tips!

Well now that's different ... a photo taken with a cell phone is in demand? At least he asked, that is what surprised me! I'll go to the blog and check it out.

OK, I'm back ... that is one cool photo!

Sounds like great news. It's always exciting when the media "finds us."

This is NOT the photo... The link is just to my blog, it is not to the photo either. It is such a mundane photo... 

Read Jeff Turner's Creative Commons posts about using photography for engaging others.

Sure it is on my blog, read my blog cover to cover and you will see it  ;-)   a few times. The photo is nothing special.

But just waht the guy needed!  I have taken photos of my sign-maybe, just maybe....   : )

It speaks to your presence, though, Maureen.

Hi Maureen... one of my favorite things about AR is the interesting encounters and experiences AR brings.  And they need not all be real estate related!  :-)

Barbara  Not my sign.. just  a sign.  Like as in "Location, Location, Location."  

There is a Real Living sign in a music video from a few years back.  It's a good sign but this is not a real estate sign.

This is just a location sign... you know like a street sign or entering city name, or a neighborhood name.
