It is kind of strange to watch someone walking around your house taking pictures. I wanted to be a fly on his shoulder so I could see what he found interesting, but we didn't follow him around. He asked if he could come back on his own to shoot photos for his personal portfolio.

I just do what I like and what works for us. <br /><br />Steve actually got his start as a professional artist (he dabbled all of his life) by painting surfboards and selling them through a local gallery. They all sold and it gave him the confidence to take art classes and the rest is history.Art and Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09070124859845536964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-40204314288762606002012-11-07T18:24:18.064-08:002012-11-07T18:24:18.064-08:00Hope it went great...your house looks perfect!
