Building and fixing stuff

Oooh that storm was fierce
Me following instructions
Rat-proofing
Stairs are easy
These ones needed work
  • Need 15 purple martin nest boxes to replace those damaged by winter storms?  Consider it done.
  • Need your patio furniture refinished?
  • Steps repaired?
  • Venetian blinds installed?
  • Front door varnished?
  • Just call.

Photography

  • Need to record that priceless jewellery or artwork for insurance purposes?

  • Or restore a cherished family photograph?

  • Or document a manufacture-defect?

  • Or sell something that’s tricky to photograph?

  • Let’s make some good images to post, for Powell River Swap ‘n Shop, Ebay, or Sothbys!

  • Or I can photograph it, build you a website, and let it sell itself!

I LOVE making images…
…especially challenging ones when the lighting is tricky…
…and the detail is important…
And lighting and detail are ALWAYS important…
Small wonder it leaked…the initial problem was a malformed gasket…the breaks were attempts to tighten the fitting
Presentation is important
As is staging. A buyer needs to know what they’re getting…
This one took months to sell…
…and it was a detail image that made the sale.

Fixing computers

Got a bug in your system?
…before you…
…and if none of this helped…
…control-alt-delete…
…and bring it to me…
oooohhh…I just love the smell of a new hard drive in the morning…
…it smells like…victory

I can fix it!

  • Uncomfortable with Windows 8?

No problem.  What operating system would you prefer?

  • Viruses or malware or bloatware slowing you down?

Bring it on.

  • Need a new hard drive?

How many logical partitions would you like?

  • Having trouble configuring a home network?
