Here is a photo of the Smolen-Gulf bridge over the Ashtabula River and Plymouth and Ashtabula Township lines. It is the longest covered bridge in the United States.

My husband loves pictures of bridges so I found myself driving around the other day trying to find a nice one to take a picture of for his Birthday. Having lived in NE Ohio for about 16 years, I had never ventured to see the covered bridges in Ashtabula but with my trusty GPS I had just enough time to find one of them. I hope to return soon to check out the other 15 found in the county and will definately put next year's Covered Bridge Festival on my calender.

It turned out beautifully in a 20X30 framed print and my husband loved it and he has now requested a B&W version to put up at his business. I was glad to please my "most important" client.

Enjoy the beauty of the season!

I was trying to figure out how to uploads some pictures to Localism and I guess they are not allowing people to join...So they ended up here. I can't believe there are no pictures of the falls in Chagrin Falls. It's one of my families favorite places to visit, along with The Popcorn Shop of course! The first picture was taken down on the very slippery rocks which was a nice perspective but a little scary.

Enjoy!

I have been shooting real estate for about three years but in the past year have started to take it much more seriously. I have been educating myself and fine tuning my craft. What I don't understand is why more real estate agents are not taking the photography of their listings more serious in today's market. We all know most people start their search on the web, making the first impression a postage stamp size picture so shouldn't every pixel count?

I understand your marketing dollars are being stretched like never before but don't clear, bright, accurate photos of your listing ensure more traffic and thus a quicker sale? Also, what a great way to market yourself to potential clients? If they are entrusting the sale of their home to a professional, it's all around professional service they will receive!

Is it normal for the sky to be white when there are no clouds?

Should the view out a window look like a nuclear explosion just occurred outside?

Should what we know to be straight walls appear to be slanting inward?

If you answered "Yes" to any of these please stop reading, there is no hope for you. If, on the other hand you agree with me and they are all a big "NO", please explain to me why more agents are not using professional photographers?

Here are a few examples of the difference I'm talking about...
