October 31st, 2008 A nice scary one for Hallowe’en! Picture is crooked/off centre, TV is on, poor composition too. Try and shoot rooms at an angle, rather than having your lens pointed perpendicular to the wall. It adds depth perception. And avoid shooting photos at night, they always look too dark. See all the usualContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #241”

Ilkay Completes Purchase of Ex-TFL Land Near Jordan River
The Times Colonist reports that Vancouver-based developer Ender Ilkay has completed part of his desired purchase of ex-Western Forest Products tree farm license land near Jordan River. The parcel that Ilkay has bought is relatively small in relation to the entire 2500 hectares (nearly 6200 acres) that he has an option to purchase. At 250Continue reading “Ilkay Completes Purchase of Ex-TFL Land Near Jordan River”

BONUS EDITION. Things got crazy yesterday and I didn’t post. So, today you get two tasty horrible photos. October 29th, 2008 Ayres Directive #1 violated again. This shot does nothing to show off the bathroom. And good God, how would you choose a necklace in the morning?! I’d be there all day 😉 I suspectContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #239 and #240”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #238
October 28th, 2008 Aren’t you just waiting for the ghosts and goblins to jump out of those doors? Our new MLS® system has the ability (yay!) to accomodate “portrait” oriented pictures, which would have suited this shot instead of the wide “landscape” orientation shown here. Also, the darkness and the crookedness of the hallway makesContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #238”
Sooke’s Seaview Mobile Home Park Protected by Sooke Council
An updated on the situation I posted about last week: Last night, at the Sooke Council Chambers, the owners of the not-so-mobile homes in Sooke’s Seaview Trailer Park breathed a sigh of relief as Sooke Council unanimously passed the proposed policy on mobile home park redevelopments. The policy protects mobile home owners by requiring theContinue reading “Sooke’s Seaview Mobile Home Park Protected by Sooke Council”
Esquimalt-Juan De Fuca Recount Confirms Keith Martin’s Win over Troy De Souza
Hey, remember that little election we had a couple weeks ago? Well, officially, Sooke has been unsure about who our Member of Parliament is since election night, because incumbent Liberal MP Dr. Keith Martin‘s margin of victory over challenger Conservative Troy De Souza was so slim. A recount was granted last week, and according toContinue reading “Esquimalt-Juan De Fuca Recount Confirms Keith Martin’s Win over Troy De Souza”

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #235
October 25th, 2008 Another member of the Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day Witness Protection Programme. I think it goes without saying to leave your clients out of the pictures, especially their children. Other than that it’s not a very good picture anyway: it’s crooked, at an awkward angle and poorly lit. See all theContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #235”
