It looks like I'm full of it today.  This link is to a professional real estate photographer's website.  If course he wants all real estate agents to use professional photographers to shoot their listings, but I think he makes a few valid points.  I'd like to get your input on this subject.  Are ...

I came across this on a Flickr group.  Kelby Training does online training for many aspects of photography.  I just thought you might want to see how an architectural photographer approaches a project.  It's obviously more time consuming than what we generally use for real estate photos used in t...

A few weeks ago a buddy of mine wanted me to take some photos of his jet.  About the time I got started, the pilot who flies the other jet in the same hangar pulled his Citation down to be photographed as well.  They like the photos I did for them so much that the Citation pilot asked me to shoot...

Many years ago now, I developed a method to attach my camera to a pole so that I could get elevated shots of my listings.  New developments in pole photography have allowed me to keep a pole with me almost everywhere I go, so I've found several other situations where pole photography would work w...

A friend of mine drives a Lear and wanted me to get a shot of it to hang on his wall in the office.  When I got there to start shooting, he called the other pilot in the hangar to see if he too wanted some photos.  Here's a sample or two of what I got last night.
