Not HDR - Nikon D300 Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 @ f/8 ISO 200 1/4th tripod mounted with cable releaseReal estate photography, for me, is an especially internal process. Since the subject being photographed cannot respond to verbal commands, nor non-verbal for that matter, I can work in complete silence and those have absolute, unbroken concentration. Add to that I use a tripod and cable release for this type of work, freeing my hands, real estate photography is almost a sort of meditation. To an outside observer, it would appear I was doing nothing, though if they could read my mind they would see a constant stream of calculations and measurements and penetrating glances. That is how I operate when doing real estate photography.
This first room has come to be known as a "man cave," a term I despise. I have, as of yet, no great alternative because I think the old term "rec room" still seems pretty good to me. Regardless of label, this is no ordinary room of this type as the walls, as you can see, are lined with artwork. In fact most of the walls in the whole house looked thusly.

Was this type of countertop not invented in the 1970s? It seems now any type of countertop material that is not granite is looked upon with scorn and in need of "updating."

As long as a queen size bed can fit and I do not bump into the night stand, that would suit me. I see so many house hunters on TV wanting a huge master. I do not understand the benefit.

He was a builder by profession (now retired). He built this, his own house, to withstand winds of 300mph using a concrete pouring process I was not able to remember since I was concentrating on photography. Where may you ask is better than living in Florida for a retiree? Well, he is on his way to Italy to an area that has good beaches also, while being just a stone's throw from ski slopes.
