I’ve decided to “eat my own dog food“. This is a software development catch phrase for practicing what you preach. In my demise of GM post I suggested that you listen to your customers so I’d like to hear from you. I’ve created a Polldaddy.com survey to collect your feedback. I have a free polldaddy [...]

I just got hold of some previously unreleased video of Scott Kelby, Matt Kloskowski and other attendees of Scott Hargis and Thomas Grubba’s LA lighting workshop that was held in August of 2008.

I was rummaging around on youtube and ran across this talk that Uwe Steinmueller (Editor of Digital Outback Photo) did about a year ago at Google’s PhotoTechEdu Day series. While Uwe talks about HDR in general I think you will find his HDR discussion useful in the real estate context.
Uwe has done a lot of [...]

I’m back home from an relaxing week of family reunion activities. Turns out the location we choose for this years get together, Mt Shasta, CA, was clouded all week (and still is) in smoke from the hundreds of forest fires raging in California.

I’d like to thank everyone that is signing up as a potential donor via the link to Scott Kleiman’s in the upper left side-bar. Susanne Hayek told me today that the donor program looking for a match was used to processing about 5 kit requests a week until we put up the link to Scott’s site on [...]

Susanne Hayek told me today that her good friend Scott Kleiman who is a Realtor at Sotheby’s in Pasadena, CA is very sick with CLL (Leukemia) and needs to find a matching bone marrow donor to survive. Scott was Susanne’s very first client four years ago when she started shooting real estate photography and is [...]

I’ve had a number of people ask me about linking to photographyforrealestate.net and linking to the PFRE e-Book order page. So I’ve finally made some little ad graphics and HTML “snipits” that can be used to either link to the e-book order page or just link to the blog.
The four different graphics are to [...]
