Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #149

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.

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?

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.

"God I hope they don't include me in the price..."

"God I hope they don't include me in the price..."

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 of buyers. If you’re allergic to dogs, you’re almost certainly going to pass on this house as opposed to one of the many others on the market that do not picture their pets in the marketing material.

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.

Pretty in Pink?

Pretty in Pink?

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 have worked better.

Meet The Parents

Filed under: Just For Fun, Personal — TimAyres @ 4:03 pm

As many of you know, I’m engaged to a beautiful woman from Newfoundland; we’re gettin’ hitched next

Coming Soon to a Blog Near You

Coming Soon to a Blog Near You

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 she moved out here three years ago. Naturally, we have a fairly busy schedule ahead of us, and I’m told that my “screech-in” is scheduled for the evening of our arrival on Saturday.

This will also be the first time I meet her parents and immediate family. I’ve spoken to them on the phone, so I’m not too nervous, but it’s hard not to be a little bit – these are my future in-laws after all. Marg has told me that her dad loves to “embarrass the fellas,” so I’m sure I’m in for a little bit of friendly abuse.

I love to take pictures – and, going with the job description, love to take pictures of houses. I can’t wait to visit some small outport towns in Newfoundland and fill my memory card with photos of quaint seaside villages and scenery. I’ll try and post a few here and on my Flickr page.

The plan is to post updates on the trip every few days – I hope you’ll check back. An easy way to follow along would be to bookmark this address: http://642Blog.ca/tag/newf/ which will bring up any posts that I write when I’m away.

I look forward to the adventures, and hope to keep you all updated and entertained.

Why, thank-you, Gaston!

Why, thank-you, Gaston!

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 currently for sale?

District of Sooke Launches New Website

Filed under: News, Sooke, Sooke Council — TimAyres @ 2:32 pm

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.

Pictures And West Coast Colours Feature Prominently

Pictures And West Coast Colours Feature Prominently

The new design looks great, and has an intuitive layout including a search box, with west coast inspired colours and lots of pictures on the front page.

Although the basic content hasn’t changed a whole lot, I’m sure with a modern interface it will be easier for District of Sooke staff to add things like council minutes and agendas, election info, and bylaws.

There is a great section on Sooke history, and a Sooke photo gallery which includes local photography of Sooke beaches, Sooke wildlife, flowers, and even historical photos from Sooke’s past.

Bravo to the District staff for improving an important information resource for residents, businesses, and visitors alike.
