Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #149

July 31st, 2008 This tight shot of the dining room table makes this room look absolutely tiny. I also find that tables look best when photographed at an angle, not facing one of the edges.

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #148

July 30th, 2008 Wow, these people must be desperate to sell – their power has been turned off. Obviously, because their caring, professional REALTOR® would never neglect to turn them on before shooting photos, right?

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #147

July 29th, 2008 Is this the laundry room or the kitchen where the laundry machines just happen to be? it’s kind of hard to tell from this picture.

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #145

July 27th, 2008 I love dogs. I think this guy is adorable and he reminds me of my dog – but Rover/Fido/Sparky doesn’t belong in the MLS® photos. According to the AAFA, between 15-30% of people with allergies are allergic to dogs or cats. Sounds like a good way to exclude a good portion ofContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #145”

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #144

July 26th, 2008 A wonderful shot of white six-panel closet and bedroom doors is ruined by the inclusion of a darkened room at the end of a darkened hallway.

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #143

July 25th, 2008 Now, I know I’m not doing this to pick on people’s colour schemes or decorating ideas, but DAY-UM, that is horrendous! Colour scheme aside, the REALTOR® should have advised the client to de-clutter the room a little, as it looks very closed-in with all the knick-knacks about. A wider-angle shot might haveContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #143”

Meet The Parents

As many of you know, I’m engaged to a beautiful woman from Newfoundland; we’re gettin’ hitched next August. Well this August, it’s her sister’s turn to walk down the aisle, and we’re going from this here rock to that there rock to attend the wedding. It’s also my fiancee’s first trip ‘down home’ since sheContinue reading “Meet The Parents”

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #142

July 24th, 2008 OK, we get it. It’s a ritzy building with its own white-gloved doorman, just like on Seinfeld or something. But what is the interior going to look like? Is there a display suite you could photograph? Why should I buy this overpriced shoebox instead of one of the other several hundred currentlyContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #142”

District of Sooke Launches New Website

Not long after re-directing the old http://district.sooke.bc.ca website to http://Sooke.ca a year or so ago, the District of Sooke embarked on a re-design project for the tired-looking (and content-lacking) site. Earlier this month, the newly-designed Sooke District Web Site was launched. The new design looks great, and has an intuitive layout including a search box,Continue reading “District of Sooke Launches New Website”
