Several people have said that they are surprised that I don’t use Facebook. Linda Clements (Brett’s wife) reprimanded me for not having Like buttons on posts and eBook landing pages etc. I know, I know, I’m sure that if I was more active on Facebook that it would generate some traffic but I just don’t feel right in my [...]

Steve Mather recently suggested that I should add a directory of the software that real estate photographers use with the current versions and where to purchase.

You probably noticed that I put my Christmas header photo up on the blog today. I like this header image partly because of the incredible story that goes with it of how PFRE blog readers solved the mystery of what these lights are. I shot this near the middle of Lake Union in Dec 2006 aboard [...]

I’m pleased to announce a major improvement to the PFRE Blog’s camera table. I’ve decided to team with Snapsort.com to automatically generate the table on the camera page. I used to update this table manually and as a result it was always little behind. As of today the table is generated from the snapsort.com camera [...]
