Monkey and iPhone, Part II

Back in the beginning of this year, or at the end of last year, depending on the time stamp of my iPhone photos from a NYE concert in San Francisco that I attended, I decided to challenge myself to prove that it is not the camera, but the monkey behind it, that makes a picture good. So welcome to Part II, the sequel. I call this Good House Hunting, or in the case or our recent successes, or lack thereof, Bad House Finding, or Great House Found But Can't Afford It. So today my wife Susan, our daughter Leah, and our awesome realtor Ronda Joseph with Hasson (too bad I can't get a product placement fee here), we all piled into the car and went looking for houses. We saw some good ones, and some bad ones. The bad ones were the ones were nobody lived in and someone decided to stage the house to make it look like someone lived there. I really was taken by the vast expanse of empty spaces even though these homes were staged. It really did not look like anyone lived there, but I know it looks better than if nothing was there. So I decided to go artsy with my iPhone, and then convert to black and white, to help convey that sense of expanse. So if you like the images, you can call me the monkey in the middle of the badly staged room. If you don't like the images, well, don't call me, unless of course you have a nice house to sell us at a good price (four bedrooms, two baths, in a nice NE or SE neighborhood please).
