The funny thing about photographing homes, Lisa and I have been known to stand precariously on her van or my husband’s truck bed.
We needed a tool, as houses are often have overgrown shrubbery and trees, you can’t see it all! Frustrating if you are trying to illustrate it! Backing up just adds more trees! I sometimes can’t not get high enough to see what was going on.
My ingenous husband was able to rig an extendable pole so I could take pictures with my digital camera on the auto-timer. It is quite a sight, me - holding my giant 20 foot extendable pole, counting the seconds until the next frame. It really does the job! He made it out of a palm leaf-cutter from my late Father-in-law. He would have been proud of his son’s creation and my usage of such an obscure item.
