Lately I have been looking through my archives a lot for inspiration to try and get back to my roots. I have always enjoyed the challenges that working for Winona State provides but some of the projects I have to complete are not as fulfilling as my own personal projects. As often as possible I like to step outside of what I am comfortable with and try new things to challenge the way I think creatively.

In this case a real estate agent sent a photographer to one of my friends houses to take photos for the listing online and the brochures. While the photographs were probably adequate to some they certainly were not going to get people to come look at the home. In general the photos were washed out by the mid day sun and taken from odd angles that could have been chosen more carefully. In the end my friend asked me to come in and try and take some photos that showed the house literally in a better light. One of the keys to online listings is having wonderful photos that will catch someones eye and get them to consider making a visit to an open house; This is especially true with high end homes in todays housing market.
