Classic movie alternatives...

Though I may poke fun at the classic movies superimposed on TV screens, like I said in the first post, I'm actually a fan of not having blank TVs in listing pictures. What I failed to mention, but would now like to remedy, is that worse than either the same frame from a movie, or no image at all is pretty much any image that is actually on the TV when the photographer comes. For example, this image of sweaty tennis star, Rafael Nadal...

Also... this is just a horrible photo to include in a listing. It's mostly of blank wall and empty floor. I think that black thing in the corner is a fireplace, but can hardly tell. It looks like there's a cool stairway to the right, but I can't see it. There might be French doors to the patio, but a tree is in the way. Here's a tip (I just made this up, but it seems like a good one): pictures of interior rooms for listings, should always include two corners of the room, so the viewer can accurately gauge the size of at least one wall. The exception to the rule is when the photo is of a particular feature of the room, like the tub in a bathroom, or built-in china hutch, or something.

There, now this blog is educational, as well as entertaining.
