A Picture Worth a Thousand Words

Okay, so I really don't have a thousand words but I have thoughts on 'a picture worth MANY words'. Have you ever thought about how you physically viewed objects prior to being in real estate?  Well, this is what I was pondering when I took this shot yesterday.

The architecture of this building is so unique but what caught my eye more was the way the staircase led up to the top. The sunlight came in through the windows...and odd sort of skylight that was magnificent to just view...for awhile.

I kept looking at this particular view and wondered if I would have looked it the same before getting into real estate. I think not. I look at everything in detail and have many opinions on the same topic. I am able to get into the detail of not just the home but everything involved in a transaction from the people to the paperwork to the property.

This shot was taken while waiting for my son to do his lab work yesterday at the Spark M. Matsunaga Department of Veteran's Affairs Hospital by Tripler Army Medical Center.

Hi Sally-

This is a gorgeous perspective on that building.  I have always enjoyed architecture, but I do think that real estate affords us just a bit more ability to really respect it.  I hope that your son is well.

Sally,

I do that too. Because of my engineering background, I always look to see "how" things are put together.

Sally,

I can always spare a thousand well chosen words, but it's not necessary.

Neat shot and no you wouldn't have looked at it the same BR.

This looks like an Escher painting.  You captured it from a great angle, Sally.

Very interesting angle in your shot, Sally. I'd agree that since getting into Real Estate we look at everything in a different way and all the possibilities out there.

Sally that is quite a view, from the bottom up.  You should have taken another one from the top down :)

Sally,

 What blows me away is that it is a government building.  It looks so elegant and nice not cold and generic as most I have been in.  GREAT SHOT!

It is amazing how we do look at buildings and homes different now that we are in Real Estate.  It is a very interesting shot.

Fabulous photo, Sally! I found it is not only real estate that causes you to look at things differently, but also the passion for photography that causes one to look at common everyday things in a new light. You have both!

Facinating picture.  Have you considered blowing it up and frameing it for your 'neat' office?

I have noticed that after being in real estate I do tend to pay more attention to architecture than I did before hand.

Hi Sally - I love creative architecture like this, and it takes a special photographer to notice it and capture the right perspective. Nice shot!

I like Sally how the bright light comes in at the top.

Celeste, I've learned alot from my realtors whenever I go on tour with them. You guys do have a different viewpoint. This is a beautiful shot. Thanks for sharing.
