Indoor Architectural Photography

 just in case someone missed it....I print all my photos through a company called www.Iprintfromhome.com ...they are really fantastic...great prices, great customer service and really really great quality. I have been using them for a while now and only recently found out that each year they feature their own customers in their paper sample kit (a kit they send out that shows all the types of papers and finishes that they offer). The way they go about choosing the images to use is through a customer contest. Of about 100 images entered, I was one of the 14 that the Iprintfromhome staff selected for the first round. The second round is chosen by the rest of the world...you guys.

I would love to be able to be featured on their photo sample kit, getting my name out there to tons of people...so please if you could, go to the facebook page and click the like button under my image (Biking Through Thunder, by Christopher Kulfan(me))

And now, that which you've been waiting for...
Another project for my schooling today...I was supposed to take a picture of a room/office and actually get a lot of the room (not just a corner or wall)in the photo without too much linear distortion.  I found this nicely lit office space and thought it would work well.  We shall see what the New York Institute of Photography thinks.

King Arthur Would Be Displeased

This definitely isn't a round table...Fairly well defined heads of the table.  Also, a little too much linear distortion.  I don't think I'm using this one, but I much prefer this one over...

Less Distortion

 And less character.  But hey, for architectural photography, it is rather infrequent that people are caring about character.

Indoors

It's chilly outside.  This is not the weather I would like to end March with.  I'd even take rainy days if it meant that the temperature wasn't cold enough for a prediction of snow on Friday.  But no, it's chilly out there and I'm not in the mood to venture out into it.  So today's pictures feature the inside of my house.  Here is the first picture...

 

The Study

It goes without saying that if you have upwards of 700 shelved books in a room, you have a study.  Especially if that room is less than 15x15 feet.  I have a study.  

The next picture really doesn't count because it's a photo of my photos.  

I spent much of my free time today matting and framing three of my photos.  All three are for the same customer. Two of the photos are from this site, you might recognize them from an earlier post.  The other one is from my actual shop.  He was looking at this site and liked them so much that he checked out my other site, and shazaam....I sold three photos.  I consider this awesome because these photos are really not my best work.  They are just part of a project to keep me shooting.  But hey, I'm definitely not complaining.

Framed, Matted, and Hung

I always end up hanging my sold photos until I have a chance to deliver or mail them out.  I figure it's a nice, safe, out of the way place.  Plus, they should probably get used to hanging on a wall.
