Facebook

Ok, so I've realized I'm not the best at blogging....I suppose that's probably obvious since my last post was in like April.

Trying to keep up with the daily tasks and continue to update those that are interested, in this forum, seems not to be working.  Part of the reason, is really, I just want to be out shooting and not stuck in front of a cpu doing social media!

I have been posting new photography on faceboook, however, so perhaps that's the best way to keep up!

Check out my Facebook page if you are interested in seeing the latest work.  I will continue to try to update here as well, but since the whole process seems much simpler there......well....we'll just have to wait and see!

Enjoy the fall!

Another Amazing House

I had the chance to photograph another amazing home last week.  It's located in Rancho Santa Fe, CA, near the Bridges area, and was one of the most unique residences I've ever been in.   It was made completely of adobe brick and had the most ornate tile and wood work I've ever seen.   No two doors in the place were alike and it seemed that every one you opened revealed some new secret.   Although the home seems dated a bit, it may have had to do with it's completely uncommon appearance.   The grounds were massive and included tennis courts, swimming pools, outdoor fireplaces, horse stables and guest quarters.   This place is going to need a particular buyer, but if this is what they are looking for, they will be thrilled!

Spend the day at OUR beach!

Maderas Golf Club, a member of Troon Golf, and  one of the finest golf courses in San Diego County, recently announced their latest promotion.     Spend the day at OUR beach!

I recently photographed a home in Fairbanks Ranch in Rancho Santa Fe, California, and although I've shot over 1000 homes in my career, this one was truly stunning.  It looked like something out of the hobbit, or King Arthur.  It consisted of over four acres of lush, completely private grounds, surrounded by a 15 foot foliage wall.    It had beautiful pathways around the property that included bridges, coy ponds, seating areas, fountains, a guest home, tennis court, swimming pool and spa, and an outdoor bbq/bar area that could easily seat 15.

The great room was probably bigger than my entire 1/4 acre lot, and don't get me started on the master bath.  My favorite room, however, was the "wine cellar".  It held a table with seating for 12 that you'd expect to see knights seated around.  It was fashioned like a castle with real stone ceilings and floors, and a fireplace big enough to fit a small car.

Here are just a few images from this amazing property.  And at only $12 mil, it seemed like a steal.  Why don't we all pick up one (or two) and have a little party!
