New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
What is that "Re*Building Spaces." font?
Most likely a heavy Avante Guard would be acceptable.
It's almost that but the biggest difference is that lower case "a".
Neuzeit S Heavy looks similar, but not exact.
Ouch. I missed that a. My bad.
Can't find a match. As previously said, something mixing Avant-Garde and Helvetica and most probably a custom work, exclusively done for dynamo by Ariel di Lisio of Negro. Your best chance is probably to ask him directly (and if he answers, drop the anwser here ;)
Some alternatives: a mix of Kamerik 205/Kemarik 105, Soin Sans

Question here regarding brugmansia 'Ecuador White'
I was just browsing Ebay and came across an offer for a rooted 'Ecaudor White'. The description claims that it is the largest blooming brugs out of them all. The seller describes the flower as growing to 17 inches long and 9 inches wide!?!?! Is this really true? IF so, this will have to go in my front bed so I can really show it off.
I may be wrong but I thought that I had come across someone claiming that 'Xena' was also one of the larger flowers.
I also wanted to ask if anyone here has bought from this seller, Mgmg9459? I am not goibng to br buying anymore brugs. Maybe this spring or summer but I am busy enough now with my 45 or so rooted cuttings!
Hi Karen,
I also wanted to tell you that I will be sending you the heat pack sometime early next week. I have a bad tooth that is driving me crazy, and no idea when I am getting it taken care of. I have to call the dentist today.
Ecuador White is a standard size single bloom and is nowhere near the size of Kongmansia. It is a good bloomer but is nothing special IMO. I have an appointment but will post pics of mine when I get back and you can judge for yourself. I hope you had a wonderful holiday.
So saying that the flower is 17 inches long was a pretty big exageration.
Hi Rudy,
I recieved almost 45 cuttings this year and i know some of them have BIG flowers, or the descriptions said they had big flowers. I will definetly be taking pics of them this summer so I will post them then.
Hi Dan,
I am pretty new to brugs but I would appreciate if you could name some of the rare hybrids. This is what I love growing. The really rare plants.
I paid $129. for a very rare mango tree called 'Maha Chinook'. I actually bought the tree before trying the fruits. Same with my green caimito. I paid a small fortune for it and have never tried the fruits.
Hello fellow brug lovers. I am a lurker here but never post. However, I felt compelled to respond to the question reguarding seller Mgmg 9459. I purchased two plants from this seller and they were the most pitiful looking plants I ever received. They were about 2 feet tall but they were the size of a pencil, with 3 different sections. Like they had been in a very small pot for 3 years or something. Very subpar IMO. She was very offended when I complained. I would never ever reccommend this seller to anyone. In addition, when the plants finally bloomed, the Daybreak was not as labeled. In all fairness, it is possible that I got the labels mixed up, but I don't think so. As far as Kongmansia, I love this one. The blooms are truly huge and there are lots of them. It does look almost exactly like Super Nova, which is its parent, but Kong seems to be a somewhat better grower. Roy

Blue Haven Pools & Spas has named a new president.
Steve Treese replaces Robert Namer, who led the San Diego-based firm for five years. Treese, a 40-year industry veteran, was general manager of the company's Las Vegas operation for 32 years. He now will work from Blue Haven's headquarters and travel around the country to the various offices. The company plans to continue expanding into new markets under Treese's leadership.
"Steve is highly respected and will help move Blue Haven in a new, positive direction," said R'nelle Lazlo, Blue Haven's vice president of marketing. "Despite the Vegas market being decimated, Steve continued to run a profitable, efficient office and has an enviable track record in procuring financing for his customers. He's already bringing in new lenders for our offices."
Founded in 1954, Blue Haven took the No. 1 spot in Pool & Spa News' Top 50 Builders list from 2003 to 2011, when the ranking was based on annual construction revenue. In its last year participating, the company reported a 2010 total gross revenue of $105 million.

Seminar Topics
Seminar Courses
Spring Semester 2015
607 (3cr) Seminar in English Literature: Eighteenth-Century Travel Literature and the Discourse of Knowledge (Zold)
ENG 609 (3 cr) Seminar in American literature: Cather, Steinbeck, and O'Connor (Cumberland)
This course offers students the opportunity for advanced study of the works of Willa Cather, John Steinbeck, and Flannery O'Connor, as well as an exploration of the broader contexts in which their work was created (social, historical, literary, cultural). For each of these writers, region was a significant aspect of their work—much of Cather's work is grounded in Nebraska; for Steinbeck, the Salinas Valley; and for O'Connor, her native Georgia. We will spend a significant part of the course exploring the impact of landscape on their literature, and what that may suggest to us about how they understood the forces shaping their society.
Fall Semester 2014
ENG 604 (3cr) Seminar in American Lit: Revolting Bodies (Herndon)
This class will focus on representations of "revolting" bodies in contemporary American literature, with the understanding that bodies often constructed as "revolting" by our society are experienced as normal and even used as a means of social revolt by those who live with and through them. In other words, the class will examine "revolting bodies" as a layered concept and one that takes a particular shape in American society because of its focus on ideas such as corporeal autonomy. In many cases, individual bodies are represented via literature in ways that are meant to symbolize or take up anxieties about larger cultural issues. In short, the individual body is often constructed as a microcosm of the larger society. By examining how various authors have represented "revolting bodies" through characters who are disabled, transgendered, and racialized, students will deepen their understanding of both the literature being studied and how that literature is in dialogue with cultural understandings and constructions of bodies in ways that reflect cultural values and anxieties.

A drunken man damaged The Roadhouse restaurant in Talkeetna and then assaulted a trooper after his arrest, according to an Alaska State Troopers online dispatch.
Troopers say Augustus Shoulders, 19, of Talkeetna caused the disturbance around 3 a.m. Sunday in the historic building.
Shoulders, who was "highly intoxicated," caused about $2,000 in damage to the inside of the cafe, according to the online post.
Shoulders also challenged another person to a fight and then tried to damage a trooper patrol car. After his arrest, officials say, Shoulders assaulted a trooper while en route to the Mat-Su Pretrial Facility.
The trooper wasn't injured in the attack and didn't require medical attention, said Megan Peters, spokeswoman for Alaska State Troopers.

And we can't forget our most fun new yarns of the year…the whimsical and amusing Thick and Thin Wool Felt Ball Yarns with and without mirrors! And don't be fooled. A little goes a long way here, and you can make a cowl from one skein or a great shawl from three. Those round-up our highlights and we can't wait to bring you more new delights in 2015!
With all those yarns, it was getting hard to figure out where to put all of them. At the beginning of the year, yarn was everywhere in Nicole's house and it became clear that it was time to move it out. So, the hunt for a new space began and after months of looking, Nicole finally chose a great space in the Historic Stockade District in Schenectady, NY! It was close to Mike's new job and had room for housing all of the yarn for the online business and room for a retail space…more on that later.
With all of that growth, we took on two new employees this year too! Jessica is our new Community Manager. You'll see her in all of our social media outlets, answering your customer inquiries, and writing the blog (oh, hi! It's me here!). She works virtually from her home in northern Virginia. Amanda is our new Operations Manager. She works right at DGY headquarters and makes sure your yarn gets to you right when it should, keeps everything in order with the inventory, and is Nicole's go-to girl for all of the things that you just don't even think about! She's a recent public relations graduate from SUNY Plattsburgh and we're so glad she's a part of the team.
After things had settled down with the move, we moved right onto another big event. Darn Good Yarn went to Stitches East in Hartford, CT! Nicole, Maggie, Jessica, and Mama Sue (Nicole's mother-in-law) had a fantastic time interacting with the yarn community, introducing our yarn to so many who had never heard of it, and standing out as the most colorful booth by far! And now seems like the perfect time to announce that we will be at Stitches West! That's right! February 19-22 in Santa Clara, CA at the Santa Clara Convention Center. We can't wait to do it again!
After our return from Stitches, it was right on to the next big project…getting the retail store ready to open! Nicole and Amanda spent days preparing and getting everything in just the right place for the December 4th Grand Opening! It was a great day for Darn Good Yarn! In fact, the Mayor of Schenectady declared December 4th to be DARN GOOD YARN DAY! We were honored, and so happy to celebrate the grand opening with so many local officials! You can read more about it here.
Just a week after the Grand Opening, Nicole headed to India! It was her first trip to meet in person with the suppliers and producers of our yarns. It was life-changing, amazing, emotional, and stunning. Nicole was able to meet up with women that Darn Good Yarn has been able to help with education, and it was so gratifying. The jobs that Darn Good Yarn provides for these women protect their dignity, are safe, and pay a fair wage that allows them to provide for their family. We are so proud to be able to bring these yarns to you! Thank you for sharing in a fantastic year with us! We've said it before and it is so true – we couldn't do it without you!!!
Darn Good Yarn Grand Opening in Schenectady, NY!!!
December 17, 2014
After months of preparation, the Darn Good Yarn Grand Opening Ribbon Cutting Ceremony in Schenectady, NY arrived!!! It was always part of the plan, once Nicole decided that she had to get the yarn out of her house, that she would make opening a retail store part of that move. So, when she found a space in Schenectady, NY that had enough room to store the yarn for the online site and have a retail store, it was just the icing on the cake that it was tucked away in Schenectady's Historic Stockade District.
So, in June, Mike and Nicole packed up their house and all the yarn and moved it to New York! All that Darn Good Yarn goodness got stashed in a U-Haul and traveled the road between Sebec, ME and Schenectady, NY. Maggie flew to meet them in NY and lend a hand with the set-up of the yarn storage. The first order of business – tear down the cubicles that were in the former small office building! No one could believe how long it took! Then set up the shelves that would house the boxes that would house the yarn and other delicious DGY goodies. It had already been a week since the moving had begun and shipping had stopped…it was time for things to get going again! Maggie left NY and Nicole with shipping ready to start, but the space for the retail site was still full of boxes.
Late in the summer, Darn Good Yarn got an invitation to come to Stitches East, and this turned out to be the perfect prelude to opening the retail site. Nicole purchased shelving, baskets, and other items that she needed to set up the display at Stitches East. She then knew she would turn around and use them all to set up the retail site. The timing was spot on and the chance to multi-task was right up Nicole's alley!
In mid-October, when we got back from Stitches, Amanda and Nicole started the task of setting up, putting every shelf in exactly the right place and carefully arranging baskets and bowls and filling them with delicious Darn Good Yarn products! Yarns, ribbons, threads, bags, scarves, purses, and skirts…everything needed just the right place. Time flew by and before they knew it, it was time to open the doors at 22 N. College Street for the first retail customers!
Last minute tasks and re-arranging happened right up until that 11 am cut-off on December 4, 2014. Amanda says that everything got rearranged four or five times right before they finally settled. Scott Oswald, the Chamber Leader, showed up the afternoon before opening to check in on things. He was a little nervous as he saw Nicole and Amanda still busily rearranging, but everything was in place for the excitement of the ribbon cutting!!! Schenectady City Councilwoman Leesa Perazzo, Assemblyman Jim Tedesco and Chamber Ambassadors James Dick and Maya McNulty were all in attendance for the celebration. Assemblyman Tedesco had a good laugh with Nicole over being fired at his first job, just like Nicole was. Apparently, it is no indicator of success! After the ceremony, there were more laughs, food and drink, and oohing and awing over all the gorgeous yarn and ready-made items.
Now that the ceremony is over and the store is open for business, please come by and see us if you are in the area! Hours are Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 12-5 pm and also by appointment. Just call the shop at 518-377-1177 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com to set up a time that will work for you!
Fragrance in the Desert by Debbie Fowler
November 18, 2014
Darn Good Yarn is pleased to announce that we will be partnering with author Debbie Fowler to sell her book, Fragrance in the Desert, that raises awareness of human trafficking issues. Debbie shared a bit about herself, her book, and how she came to find Darn Good Yarn. Enjoy!
Hi! I'm Debbie Fowler.
Because I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, I am writing here today to share what has profoundly changed my life. And you may very well wonder what this has to do with fiber, felting, and knitting.
I like all things artsy, crafty, and messy. My bookshelves will tell you that I want to try it all. I paint with water color and acrylics and finger paint when the grandkids come. I know how to crochet, but knitting is still frightening. There are books on how to write books and make books. The drawers in my desk are full of pencils and markers, stencils and stickers. Art journaling is fun with crazy collage stuff found in the back yard and using magic markers, colored pencils, gel pens etc. I sew. There are shelves of fabric (the stash) and baskets of yarn and embroidery projects. My oldest daughter told me several years ago upon surveying the conglomerate of stuff in my craft room that I should focus. My comment to her was that wouldn't be any fun and besides, "You kids are out on your own. I can do what I want now!" I had the best laugh just the other day when she told me her craft room looks like it has ADHD. Now she gets it!
I live in the country, Galway, NY, on a little over an acre about a 20 minute drive to something going in any direction. We like it. My husband is an artist of sorts too….his canvas is the yard. It is wonderful! We have gardens in the front yard and in the back, he is building a pond and there is a fire pit and lots of room for our dog, Milo, to run. This is where I live, this is where I retreat and feel my home is a refuge to the outside world. It would be so easy to get lost in that world and stay there; however, the passion that accompanied that profound event has a life of its own.
At the end of 2009 I joined my husband for a two year work assignment in the Middle East. We moved to Kuwait. Wondering what I was going to do while he worked, I, thankfully, learned of the KTAA. The Kuwait Textile Arts Association is a non-profit multinational organization which aims to bring together individuals interested in textiles and the fiber arts including appliqué, embroidery, knotting carpets, quilting, silk painting and weaving. Members include a number of talented decorative artists who hold classes throughout the year. To me this was the jackpot. They like and do things I like and there are new things I can learn. I was invited to the quilt group meeting. Although I sew, I wasn't a quilter. I am proud to say that I am now.
Through this group I learned of a shelter that provided food, housing and protection for abused runaway maids. At that time there were 24 women of all ages from Nepal and 2 from Ghana. I spent two days a week with these women.
This was my culture shock. Having been awakened to the truths of human trafficking and personally touched by the dear ones who have suffered from this crime, I was profoundly changed. I made a vow to "my girls" that I will not only do something for their sake, but for their sisters, friends, and children to continue to combat the fight of human trafficking. Thus, I wrote "Fragrance in the Desert".
My first introduction to Darn Good Yarn came from one of their customers while I was visiting family in Rochester, NY. Sue stopped in at my sister's home. In sharing her love for fiber arts, she revealed this new product regarding recycled saris. The mention of saris had my attention. Very quickly we found that many of our interests overlap and we soon found a common thread. When she explained they came from Nepal and India, I was beside myself. I shared the topic of my book and of the women from Nepal. She excitedly told me of DGY and their mission. And when I found out they were so close in Schenectady, I knew there must be a reason this had come to my attention.
Usually when a connection is made like this, I get chills…I wasn't disappointed! (something is unfolding) I read through the web site and blog posts of DGY and was delighted to learn of the business resolve to not only provide quality product, but give dignity to the women of Nepal and India the opportunity to become autonomous and self reliant. The next chills producing discovery was when reading the bio of Jessica, one of the staff members. She shares of when reading Half the Sky by Nicholas D Kristof and Sheryl WaDunn in 2011 that her worldview changed and she wants to do something more. Another "coincidence" ? I read that book in 2011 as I was flying back to the US after living in Kuwait for two years.
There may be many reasons for this unfolding to have occurred. I believe, today, it's to stand together, women helping women, supporting one another and passionately together we will make a difference.
"One person cannot save the world
and solve all its problems. But many people living in service
to their highest calling will collectively lift the world and create light where it is most needed.
–Christine Mason Miller
In the midst of the horrors I discovered the sweetness of innocents who provided fragrance in the desert. My eyes have been opened and I am changed forever.
Proceeds in the sales will be donated to Maiti Nepal, an organization that is providing education, prevention, protection, healing to the women in Nepal who have suffered of this exploitation, and other like organizations working together to end modern day slavery!
I am thrilled to learn of others like Darn Good Yarn that share the same passion!

Nicole & Mike's Top 5 Favorites in Schenectady
August 29, 2014
Nicole and Mike have had a great time exploring the new official Darn Good Yarn city of Schenectady, New York and have found lots of things to love about it….restaurants with scrumptious food, service businesses that are top notch, and areas of the city that a just beautiful to be in and walk around. If you're in the area or can come for a visit, here they are in no particular order.
5) Persian Bite
Delicious Iranian Food at great prices! Everything here is amazing, from the sizzling kebobs to the flavorful wraps to the chewy and warm Persian flatbread. You can get a wrap that comes with salad and bread for under $5! Love it! When Nicole needs a break from sourcing your favorite yarns and great place for some lunch with Mike, she heads over to the Persian Bite.
A girl's got to look good, but a girl's also got to stay on a budget. How does Nicole do both at the same time? The Paul Mitchell School in Schenectady! Great prices on all the services you need to keep up your look…haircuts and great styling to go with it, color and highlights, manis and pedis, waxing…you name it, they do it and they do it well. Even with Nicole's hard to cut curly hair, she doesn't come out looking like Rachel from Friends (Remember that hair cut? It was a good one, but not anymore!), she comes out looking fresh and fabulous!
3) Home Depot
Moving into a new place always comes with a few unexpected home repairs. So, then move into two places (the store too) and add a few more repairs. And add onto that a store opening (still working on it…slow, but steady) and you're going to need the best hardware and home repair store around with a top of the line staff that knows the store in and out and can help you find what you need so you don't waste your time walking down every aisle. Enter Home Depot of Schenectady, NY!!! They are the best with the friendliest and most helpful staff around! No matter how obscure the item, they can find it for you and they do it with a smile!
Mike's Hot Dogs takes you back to the good old days with its counter seating where you can enjoy your hot dog while you watch the grill sizzle with more. It's been around for over 50 years and these are definitely the best dogs in Schenectady and possibly the best hot dogs in New York! And Mike's Hot Dogs doesn't just do dogs. They are up at 5 am ready to serve you a breakfast of french toast, omelets, and bacon. And for lunch can have that delicious dog, a juicy hamburger, or a cup of the soup of the day. And it's all melt in your mouth, mmmm, mmmm, good!
Of course it was going to make the list! How could we not mention it? Full of the best yarn around and good vibes to go along with it. Our warehouse is stocked up with all of our goodies…Silk Sari Ribbon Yarn, Nicole is loving the new space in the Stockade Historic District, is proud to be a member of the Schenectady Chamber of Commerce, and can't wait to connect with more of you!

Discouraging words from David Stern
The moral posturing in David Stern's statement about Gilbert Arenas is questionable
Originally Published: January 7, 2010By LZ Granderson | ESPN.com
There are three aspects of the Gilbert Arenas situation that I find almost as curious as Gil's personality.
First, if someone outside of law enforcement has to be told not to bring a gun to work, then I can't help but wonder what other common-sense nuggets are escaping his attention.
Second is the public's knee-jerk reaction to the fact that Arenas owns guns; or, for that matter, to the reality that any athlete owns guns. It's as if the NRA was started by Plaxico Burress. ...

I've never been a huge fan of rules—especially when it comes to creative outlets like photography, writing, or decorating. Who is anybody to tell you what looks good? Who is anybody to tell you how to decorate your home? If you really love that picture of your cat wearing a Snuggie, who is anybody to tell you that it's a bad photo? As far as I'm concerned, you gotta do you—critics be gone! Still, this doesn't stop people from asking me on a semi-regular basis how they can take good photos. Although I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as a "good" photo (people will have an opinion one way or the other), I do have a handful of go-to tips and tricks that I turn to, especially when in doubt. These aren't rules per se—more guidelines that you can follow when taking photos of your home—a framework within in which you can move around, experiment, and have fun. The great thing about these "rules" is that they are applicable to almost any situation and level of photography. Most cameras today (whether they are top-of-the-line or bottom-shelf) come with manual settings and options for advanced shooting. To follow along with these rules, you only need three things: a camera (make sure you have read its manual), a tripod, and a standard photo editing software (Photoshop is hands-down the ideal, Aperture and Lightroom are also good, iPhoto not so much). Whether your photos are "good" or "bad" is simply up to you, but these five tips will have you pointed in the right direction! Happy shooting! —Max
The human eye is a wonderful thing, capable of adjusting to just about any light temperature—whether it's the warm yellow of incandescent bulbs or the dull green of fluorescent ones. A camera, however, is downright stupid compared to the human eye. Whereas the eye will take in the glow of an incandescent bulb and interpret it as white light, a camera will just see it as plain ol' ugly. This is why, when it comes to interior photography, it is best to use only natural light. This is the golden rule when it comes to interior photography (or most other photography, for that matter). If you're going to follow only one piece of advice from this entire write-up, make sure that it's this one.
When photographing an interior, you want to make sure that all of your other lights are off. I repeat—turn ALL of your lights OFF. You might be a little bit perplexed by this rule—after all, light is a necessary part of photography. What if the light coming through your window isn't strong enough? This is what your tripod and your camera's shutter speed settings are for. Pop your camera onto your tripod to avoid motion blur and slowwwww down the shutter speed to allow for a long exposure. This will allow your camera to pick up whatever light there is in the room and you won't have to resort to artificial light or, god forbid, your flash.
Once you begin taking interior photos exclusively with natural light, you'll see just how much more beautiful it makes the final result. Colors will appear fresh and clean, shadows will come from more natural directions (rather than, say, above), and the chances of needing to adjust your white balance in post-production are severely diminished.
Quick note: Although natural light is by far the best light to shoot with, not all natural light is created equal. It's best to avoid times of day when sun is shining directly into your room—this will keep certain areas from being brighter or more blown out than others. As is true with shooting outdoors, photographing on a cloudy day is actually ideal—clouds act as a natural soft box, diffusing the light and creating even, subdued shadows.
Most cameras today come with the ability to shoot RAW. Unlike JPEGs, which are a "lossy" file compression (meaning that they trash a lot of the photo information in order to save space), RAW files are essentially untouched photographic data. If one were to draw a parallel between digital photography and film photography, a RAW file would be akin to an unprocessed negative—it is essentially a record of light hitting the camera's sensor and has not yet been turned into pixels.
Of the many reasons to shoot in RAW mode, one of the best is because it allows you to have the most control over your final image. RAW files preserve much more photographic information, allowing you to retrieve seemingly blown-out or underexposed areas, adjust white balance more accurately, and determine the final size of your photo.
Note: When it comes to editing RAW photos, my go-to software is Photoshop—its built-in RAW Editor does a wonderful job and is very feature-rich.
When it comes to composing interior photos, I have found that, when it doubt, it is always best to shoot straight on. Using your room's architectural framework as a guide, point your camera so that it aligns perfectly with one of your walls. If your camera has a grid or compositional guides in the viewfinder (even iPhones have this feature built in), this is a perfect moment to use that tool. You want to make it so that the wall's horizontal and vertical lines (along with the horizontal and vertical elements of items along that wall) are aligned, almost as if on a grid, within your viewfinder. Here are some photos that I took of my apartment [which you can read about at length, in case you're interested, on my fiancé's blog] to illustrate this idea:
Rather than creating a dynamic composition through overly-dramatic camera angles, this technique allows for a much more harmonious end result—it uses your walls as a blank canvas of sorts with dynamism created through the composition of objects (like brush strokes) within the photograph. This technique also allows you to have more options if and when you decide to crop your photo.
So—to summarize, it is usually best to have your camera pointed straight forward towards a flat surface. There are, of course, exceptions to this rule, but if you are unsure, it's always better to err on the side of simplicity. As with most things in life, less is often more. Here are some very professional, highly scientific drawings to further illustrate my point:
One of the biggest obstacles you might encounter when photographing an interior space is lack of space. When shooting indoors, especially within tiny apartments or smaller rooms like kitchens and bathrooms, you might find yourself backed into a wall (literally) when attempting to get the perfect shot. Oftentimes, people's first instinct is to go out an buy a wide-angle lens to fix this issue, but this option often results in distorted, "fisheyed" images. I've found that the best way to get the shot you want is to not change your lens, but change your environment.
It's important to keep in mind that you, as the photographer, are essentially The Omnipotent Master of The Universe within your photos. Meaning: feel free to move stuff. If you can't take the perfect photograph of your couch because there's a big ol' credenza behind you, move that credenza! If there's a houseplant where you need your tripod to be, move that houseplant! If you can get a better shot of the room in question from the next room over, then by all means—shoot through the door! BOOM:
This also goes for things that might be getting in the way within your photo. If there are any unsightly cords, objects, or pieces of furniture that are killing your photographic buzz, get rid of 'em! And don't worry about your documentarian integrity—editing out objects is one of photography's dirty little secrets (even Civil War photographers moved cannon balls and dead bodies in their photos to create more dramatic compositions, I kid you not).
If you're shooting close-ups or vignettes within your space, it is important to know how (and when) to use your aperture. Essentially the tool that controls the size of the hole light is allowed to come through, aperture is also responsible for controlling your camera's depth of field. If you're shooting a close-up of a vase, for example, and you want your background to be blurred out, the focus tool is just one half of what you will need to achieve that effect. The smaller your aperture number (or the wider the aperture hole), the shallower your depth of field. The larger your aperture number (or the tighter the aperture hole), the more in focus and sharp everything will be. To get a blurred background on your vase photo, then, you will want to shoot with a wider aperture, or the smallest f-stop your camera will allow. Conversely, if you're shooting a wider space or an entire room, you want to make sure that your f-stop is cranked all the way up so that everything is in sharp focus.
As a past commercial interior designer for an international interior design firm, I've been involved in too many interior photo shoots to count. But the one thing I will say is that for every shot you see published in a magazine, at least an hour (and probably more) of set up, staging has occurred. Furniture has been moved, items have been added or removed, lighting has been added (sometimes even under furniture) or removed, and filters have used on the camera. Shooting digital has been a life saver for many professional interior architecture photographers. It's not easy, but the rewards are great! All advice given in this article was useful and on point!
Great advice Maxwell. Your tips on using natural light, shooting raw and manually controlling the aperture are so very true. I was intimidated for so long to take my camera out of automatic mode, but once I made the switch to manual, I found that, like you suggest, a little tweaking of things like aperture and ISO make such a huge difference. I will make sure to use only natural light moving forward and really give some added thought to the composition of each shot. Thanks so much for the advice and tips.
Thanks for the guidelines! I've been picking up a variety of books on photography from the library, but I can hardly stand looking at the photographs they deem "perfect" or "beautiful." I agree that beauty is indeed subjective, and I'm glad to have found your post's alternative perspective to more traditional and technically-driven approaches.
this is great and super helpful!
Fantastic post! Thanks for the simple and clear suggestions for using a digital camera's manual settings. So helpful!
I loved this article. Great info. for posting better photos in ads for rentals. Lots of landlords could use some help!
EXACTLY what I needed, as I get my own blog off the ground. Thanks for putting this together, for people like me.
You guys rock!
Gorgeous graphics in this piece, also.
This was so helpful, and hilarious, thanks! And congratulations on the engagement (sorry if I'm months late on this :)
Using natural light is a poor tip. The tip should be "use even light." You want the light outside the windows and inside to be at the same level. Otherwise you'll get blasted out by the sunlight coming in and have contrast issues. There are also great LED light panels that allow you to adjust the color temp while setting up your shots. If anything I would add as much light as possible to eliminate shadows; but it doesn't have to be natural light. Oh yeah, and a tilt-shift lens is essential.
Hey, Greg!
I mentioned the importance of even light within my write-up. Perhaps you didn't catch it:
"Quick note: Although natural light is by far the best light to shoot with, not all natural light is created equal. It's best to avoid times of day when sun is shining directly into your room—this will keep certain areas from being brighter or more blown out than others. As is true with shooting outdoors, photographing on a cloudy day is actually ideal—clouds act as a natural soft box, diffusing the light and creating even, subdued shadows."
However, I must disagree with the assertion that completely indoor/outdoor balanced light or a tilt-shift lens are essential to taking a good photo. Natural light pouring into an unlit room can create beautiful photographs and, as a rule, I use natural light exclusively. Shadows can make for great drama, also, so they should not be banished entirely. Tilt shift lenses, it should also be noted, are prohibitively expensive to the average consumer and hardly necessary if taking standard interior shots.
Thanks for the tips, Max! I always admire your interior shots, and lord knows I need any general photography advice I can get — this was very helpful (and simple).
I love that I was reading this as I was listening to Max talk about his Little Old Man lifestyle manifesto on After the Jump. Very colorful picture being painted in my head at the moment…I digress–great post! As a designer who frequently needs to shoot product on the fly, this concise guideline is super helpful.
This was really helpful. Thank you.
Thank you for this post! I am doing a post of my dalmatian wall DIY soon and taking the "After" pictures is definitely proving in a poorly-lit, small apartment. These tricks will definitely help. :D
Lauren M.
I would love to see more photography tips on D*S. This is a great addition to your content. Thanks Max!
Great tips! Super helpful. Photographing a whole room is such a daunting task. Not only the camera side, but the staging too. How to edit and arrange for a decent photo composition is hard. I'll take all the help I can get!
what type of camera do you use for the photos taken on this site?
Hi, Juliane! Many of the photos we run on the site are taken by various photographers using all different cameras. However, when we shoot something in-house, we primarily use a Nikon D90.
In case someone wanted to try the above advice from Greg, and doesn't have 2000$ to allow to a lense (as Max pointed out, not everybody does), here's a DIY tutorial to make your own shift tilt lens: http://cow.mooh.org/projects/tiltshift/
So helpful as I will be shooting my apartment this week! I had never heard of shutting off the lights before! Can't wait to see the difference :)
Very good and useful article. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the tips! I can now put my photography student daughter to work in my house :)
Great Post ! You have raised the bar with this.
What great tips! I learned more from this one article than I have in the last 6 months and – BOOM! – it was fun!
Good stuff here! I am 45 years a professional commercial photographer and can say that these are well thought out guidelines for beginning shooters. Kudos!
One piece of software was neglected in the article that is a bit less user friendly than the "Big Guns" the author mentions but none the less powerful and the best part is that it is FREE! Not an endorsement just a suggestion to check-out a program named "Gimp" for editing digital images.
As to Juliane's question about what type of camera was used — It is less a matter of one's tools than it is one's eye. You can make great photographs with any camera as long as you understand how to "see" and compose artistically pleasing images.
I take exception to your "rule" of only using natural natural light. One of the biggest issues with shooting interiors is showing views to the outside. And outside lighting is usually much brighter than interior lighting. To balance the lighting it is essential to raise the interior light level to match the light outside…by using small off camera flash units bounced off a white ceiling, HDR photography or some combination of both.
Thanks Max! I know it sounds obvious to just move things to please the eye but I pathetically hadn't thought of that before. Thanks for the advice!
Please see Max's comment below, he addressed this issue.
Also, we use GIMP here at the D*S office and love it. :)
Hey, George Draper! I get what you're saying, but I *still* tend to use natural light when shooting directly at a window. I get around the light balance issue by taking multiple exposures of the same frame and then layering them in Photoshop. I usually find that using artificial lighting (whether it be a flash or strobes or just regular old lamps) produces a relatively unnatural look.
Great tips Maxwell!
I'm a professional interior photographer based in Toronto and have a few more to add:
– using an inexpensive hot-shoe bubble level that attaches to your camera hot-shoe is a great aid in leveling the camera to keep everything straight
– lowering the camera height similar to a height similar if you were sitting in a chair, gives a more pleasing natural perspective
– KISS, keep it simple rule is golden "less is more"
– you can also control or manipulate the natural light by adjusting blinds, curtains or opening/closing doors. Large white or silver cards are helpful in reducing contrast and large black cards can be used to increase contrast
What a great surprise to see photography tips- thanks! To avoid the pitfalls of a wide angle lens, what would be ideal instead? I bought my first camera a couple of months ago, body only, with a 50mm prime- I'm ready for my next lens! Thanks again.
To the discussion of the exterior illumination being balanced with interior illumination, there are gelatin filters from companies such as Lee and Rosco just to name two that provide both ND Filtering (Neutral Density filtering – Think sunglasses for your windows) and CC Filters (Color Correction filters) to balance interior lighting color temperatures with exterior lighting color temperatures. These filters are clear and usually overlaid on the windows or placed in frames out of sight to the scene.
Being "neutral," ND Filters pass the color of light within the full spectral range of its source and are color agnostic. Its task is to darken the light level it does not correct color, which is why a photographer might also need a CC Filter. These filters are often used in photography and film making. This all gets rather complicated and may be somewhat beyond the scope of this particular forum so I'll stop here before everyone's eyes glaze over (haha).
Very helpful post – I got a DSLR camera a year ago and am still learning the bells and whistles. Can't wait to play with the aperture after reading this excellent article!
And now I know why all of my interior photographs look like crap and why all my landscapes look so much better. I just thought I was terrible at indoor photography. Talk about a duh moment. I literally just came from the photography store hoping to find a lens to help me as I will be taking interior photos on Monday and I didn't have a clue. Can't wait to try out your tips!!!
thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!
These tips will be put to use.
This is an excellent set of tips! Took me a long time (esp with film – oy, am I dating myself here?) to get these down pat! One thing to add, having an 'eye' for staging a room takes practice. Don't get discouraged, just keep shooting!
Excellent tips! Spending the time to stage and photographing straight on are the two things that have made a real difference in my photography of interiors and real estate. Thanks for keeping it simple!
This could not have come at a better time. Thank you D*S! I was juuust about to try shooting a couple of interiors for my new site/line, this willhelp me give them the the push I need, and the polish I'm hoping for (and was, til now, mystified about how to achieve). : )
We use to get the most beautiful natural light in our home until 2 years ago when a giant ugly building was built right up to our property line. With much coercing they painted the exterior white so we would get a reflection, but our beautiful large white loft is always dim now. Our walls are also floor to ceiling glass (15 ft high)and we still barely get any nice light. What do you do when you run into a problem like that? Its really sad…
Great tips and – for the most part – I couldn't agree more… with a BUT. I've been doing photo production for a solid 9 years now, and used to swear by Photoshop exclusively, same reasons you mentioned. A year or two ago, I finally incorporated Lightroom, and it COMPLETELY changed my workflow. If you haven't given it a solid shot, I really can't recommend it enough – take some time and get familiar. It makes everything go sooooo much faster – culling and color and all. I do the vast majority of my Raw processing and color corrections using LR now, and while I highly recommend it for professionals to expedite workflow, it's also a little more user-friendly for novice photographers. PS is still where it's at for retouching, but there's no loss from the data or edits you make when you're outputting from LR. I've turned into a total geek about it (obviously) but it really has helped that much.
Just my 2 cents!
Such a great post! Lots of good advice presented in a very clear manner. Thanks!
Thanks for this. It never dawned on me to shoot straight. All along I've been complicating my life by shooting corners. Haha.
Timing of this article could not have been better. Just bought a 5D Canon and have no idea how to use it! So excited to try these tips in manual mode. Great interior shots, here we come! Thanks!
I have read many a photography tip. These are quite useful. I shoot mostly interiors for my blog and have been attached to my wide angle lens. It doesn't seem to create a fisheye, but I do notice that most interiors shots I'm drawn to are closer in. I am a details person in real life, so it's funny that I tend not to focus on those in my photography. Perhaps it's because my styling isn't my best talent.
My favorite tip is about moving things to either give yourself more room for a shot, or to remove distracting things from a shot. I'm a very literal person so I tend to take "actual life" photos rather than "styled for photography" photos, but the latter are much more pleasing to look at!
Thank you for this fantastic guide. I have a Camera Canon 500D and have never really used it. I have always wanted to and it is just a month ago that I decided now was the time to get started and learn how to take pictures. I have always envied those who could take those incredible images that you see on blogs. Guides like this really helps get my dream started! Thanks!
Excellent publish, very informative!!! You have accentuated the best points. A must read article for every one who is into this niche.
Such great tips!!!
I'm trying to learn more about interior photography for my blog and portfolio. Thanks for these tips!
Max, thank you … especially for recommending natural light only! It makes such a great difference but I would't have tried on my own :) … —http://elvirastein.com/photo/zuhause-bei-mistress.html
Thank you for a great article!
I would add a that possible to use HDR technique together with natural light.
"Who is anybody to tell you what looks good?" I guess it depends upon what the photos are for. If they are solely for the purpose of self expression, then, yes, maybe just follow your own preferences as to the look of the photos. However, if your purpose is to use the photos to market your products or services, then I think it is essential to consider how potential clients will respond to your marketing images. If you haven't been able to test this for yourself, then it seems to me that the kind of photography you can find published in high-quality architecture and interior design books and magazines (both the editorial illustrations and the advertisements) is a good place to start to determine the kind of looks that sell.
Nice tips… I really appreciate your work.. Please keep write this kind of interesting and useful stuff..
I'm a newbie at this…thanks for the tips!
Thanks for all the great tips, I am a beginner photographer as a hobby, I have a Fuji X-S1 bridge camera and have searched for many tips on how to get good shots. I have never used auto mode and found that setting my aperture for good distance, ISO, WB on cloudy and setting my EV up a bit to get the right balance gives me very nice interior shots. I always use a tripod as advised.
I've been working a little with a real estate agent shooting mostly outdoor for her. I asked her about interior shots that others have done for her and she mentioned that they use a "Light filter" to make everything bright. I've never heard of this, does anyone know what she might be referring to?
Thank you!!!
Thank you, I found this really helpful
Max, I'm just finding this article but wow is it incredibly helpful! I'm just breaking into editorial interior photography and this is a big help. I agree that the tilt shift lens is prohibitively expensive. I've shoot with a Canon 5D Mark II and use a variety of lenses to capture both wide angle and detail shots. I'm wondering what lens you use to get a wide angel without dealing with distortion? Thank you!!!
How do I get a blury background in a small space/room where there isn't much depth of field?
I read this with interest and as always I'm grateful to anyone taking the time and trouble to share information to help others. Without wishing to be overly critical, the windows in one of your shots are 'blown out', was this deliberate? I have to be honest and say it doesn't look good to my eyes.
Thank-you so much for this ! I did buy a wide angle lens but am struggling with composition using it. So by zooming in a bit I remove any distortion but still am able to get more of the room in (I shoot homes for realtors). My challenge has been the horizontal tilt that can happen with a wide angle lens. I never thought of using my grid! I'm also going to try turning off all the lights – gulp. I currently use a tripod and set my ISO to 400 or less. Usually 200. Is this a mistake? Im concerned that more is just too grainy.
This is great, witty & succinct, thanks.
Nice article with some good advice. Like a few others have said, I wouldn't discount using a bit of additional fill from flash. Sometimes you can use reflectors to fill in shadows but there are occasions where you really do need to use flash. Obviously, off camera, bounced off ceiling, floor or back wall etc… Flash is a no brainer when it comes to balancing with daylight. Tilt-shift has been mentioned too, and it certainly has it's place for keeping everything straight and level, but it's not an absolute requirement, and certainly not for the beginner as cost is definitely an issue. The end result is what we are all after, using natural light only doesn't always work. Take a look at a lot of kitchen shots in magazines or brochures for example, and they have all the light on, mixed with natural light, and if you look carefully, you can see where they have added in flash to even everything out. For me, I take a bunch of speedlights, and a bunch of studio strobes, as well as reflectors, light modifiers, and a bag of lenses, I talk to the client to find out what they want the end result to be and spend an hour or two shooting a kitchen, but that's me :)
What lenses do you use for your interior shoots?
Natural light is best – but if you have 10K invested in interior lighting with everything on dimmers and scene controllers it might pay to show that off as well. Well lit interiors with manmade light can be stunning as long as a lighting designer has worked their magic and the camera is set up correctly.
Excellent tips!!! I am just getting started in photographing house interiors for real estate listings and would greatly appreciate some equipment recommendations such as brands, types of lenses, filters etc.
Hi! What lens are you using? or what lens would you recommend for interior photography? Im using Canon 400d (I know! so old. lol) and i have only been using my kit lens in all shoots. Ive always loved my kit lens and believed it can be used in any shoot. But i think i should get a new wide angled lens since in getting into interior photography. As well as, to minimize editing time from the curved edges or fish-eye effect from the photo captured with my kit lens.
Hoping to hear from you soon!
Thank you for inspiring me more! :)
definitely really useful tips!! When I started shooting interior back then I always felt under pressure as I was never using additional artificial light. Nowadays this is a very important part of my style and actually a reason why people book me.
I agree with much of the above, but its important to remember that different end usages have different requirements re light…. I shoot a lot with interior mags in the UK (different look to the US mags too), but if I were an estate agent (real estate in the US!) I would want more even light, probably utilising flash guns. For magazines, I shoot 99 percent without artificial light… editorially we go for 'dark corners' and more mood… so, if we want to go for a view outside the window (whilst keeping those lovely soft shadows inside), we would use blending of exposures (probably in lightroom with a plug in), rather than blasting out the interior with a flash… anyway, great piece, not sure why you're giving away all the secrets! Mark
So helpful- thank you! can I ask what camera you use? I am researching so that I can take advantage of the New Year sales; hence reading this. Thanks and Happy New Year!
Very helpful. My home, unfortunately, has little natural light and I find my photos too dark when lit only from the small windows. Any tips for manipulating or adding soft light indoors?
the photos you used are all B/W, are these tips for monochrome photography? I'm no expert, a rookie for sure, but I've seen dozens of so called expert interior shots and a mix of some lighting was basically essential?
Nice article, love the little stick men!
The "light filter" might referring to the contrast-reducing filters that are used in cinematography. In the days before 14-stop digital cameras they used to be big on compressing the tonal scale toward the middle which can have the effect of making everything look a little brighter.
I like the sentiment about photographing with only natural light, but I question wether we enjoy that experience in real life – It seems most of the time even with light streaming in we tend to turn on lights when in a room. I also wonder does natural light truly show off the textures and color the Designer took pains to use?
Great post and very understandable which as a girl whose slowly learning how to take better photos in manual I find some posts way over my head (: Thank you!!

I might be alone in this, but Harbaugh's insanity (and it is most definitely that) makes him someone to be feared because you just never know what to expect from a person that unhinged.
We shouldn't be dealing with this in the aftermath of a national championship. I think most everyone wants to win the right way and I believe wholeheartedly we were doing that. All of this is unnecessary.
Yeah. They have Willie Henry there now. They've never gotten a recruit from Glenville who had an offer to Ohio State though.
It's pretty obvious, and I'm sure Birm cannot confirm, that Wilcher was recruiting Weber to Michigan behind Ohio State's back. His dramatics today really mean nothing to me.
That said, Ohio State still should have been upfront with the young man.
No, we don't. We know that's what we've been told. Sounds like the interview was a formality.
It's immoral. It's wrong. Whether it's against the rules is immaterial to me. Lying or hiding a pertinent fact from a recruit because you know it may affect their decision to attend your school is ... FLAT. OUT. WRONG. Period.
The only question is whether that actually happened in this case. Hard to believe that Drayton and/or Meyer were not aware of him leaving for Chicago, especially considering the timing. If they were aware, they fucked up and they should apologize, let the kid out of his LOI, and never do it again.
And just because this stuff happens other places doesn't mean it needs to happen HERE. That's the damn dumbest defense of this bullshit I've ever heard.
I can't believe the amount of people defending this based on the "business" rationale.
NEWSFLASH: College football isn't a normal business. Recruiting isn't a normal business. You are not dealing with two experienced sides in these negotiations. On one side, you have well-paid professional coaches. On the other side, you have a high school senior. If people refuse to see the gap there, then you've probably gone too far in your fandom of this team/program.
Looks like oversigning. Smells like oversigning.
Yeah, I don't think I'm ever buying a jersey for more than 40 dollars. Ever. I'll wait until they hit the clearance rack.
Braxton Miller will be Ohio State's starting quarterback next year unless he leaves for the NFL or gets hurt.
Couple of things:
1. No injuries. No arrest. Most of these situations result in both parties requesting no charges. There probably won't be any charges.
2. If you let a girl live with you in your apartment (which I don't know if that's the case here), you can't just kick her out.
Such a dumb way to determine a tournament game. #TeamGoldenGoal
I'd complain more about the weak slate of SEC/FCS games this weekend if we didn't have to play Indiana.
I think we finish with a couple more guys. Dream lists are stupid.
Harris, obviously. Given what we want to do on offense (spread it out horizontally and vertically, while maintaining an inside run game), he's perfect. But things don't look good.
The Cold could be an interesting issue on Saturday night. Remember: JT comes from Texas. This will probably be the coldest game he's ever played and it's only going to get colder from here on out.
I hope he goes to Virginia Tech. I think he can be a difference maker there.
And it means he's not playing for FSU or in the SEC.
He has the reputation of a freak athlete in the mold of Josh Sweat. But does he have the production to match the athleticism?
I agree. The loss looks more and more like a fluke. And it looks more and more like Ohio State is vastly improved from that game.
However, I have no idea if that's the kind of perspective anyone on the playoff committee might have about it.
That was a very unique scenario in the Big 12 South. You had Oklahoma beat Texas Tech who beat Texas who beat Oklahoma. The division champ went to a ludicrous tiebreaker. Because you didn't even have a clearcut winner of that division, I would have been fine with two teams getting in... under that very odd scenario.
Generally, however, you should have to win your division. I hated that LSU had to have a rematch with Alabama AFTER they had already beaten Alabama in Tuscaloosa AND had to play in the SEC Title game. That put LSU at a disadvantage going into the NC game because they had to play one more BIG game than Bama at the end of the season. LSU would have been better off losing the first game to Alabama and then catching a bye during championship week.
I'm still not ready to concede the guilt or innocence of Jameis Winston on the sexual assault allegation. It's almost impossible for anyone other than he and the girl to know the truth. It's a difficult situation.
He, however, hasn't done himself any favors with the crab leg theft and the sexually-charged comment he made on campus. That, coupled with possible NCAA violations, makes it difficult to give him the benefit of the doubt anymore. But, alas, I will not pretend to know something I don't know.
It would be nice to get Brian Cole in for a visit as well.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I failed to find a match for the faux Arabic used for the cover of a Hoover Institution Press Publication in 2011 titled _Jihad in the Arabian Sea_ by Camille Pecastaing
Searching for anything Arabic would never have yielded the font because this is P22 Da Vinci - stretched in the title.
Edit - Ya beat me to it, Monica.
Super! Two top sleuths. I would have never thought of Da Vinci as Faux Arabic and would never have looked in these handwriting fonts. But it really works here.
Many thanks.
p.s. Sorry Mike that the Typophile credit system won't let me cite you as well.
It does work surprisingly well.
Actually, Da Vinci was the second font I looked at. My first guess was Judith Sutcliff's Tagliente - which has some elements in common - and may have worked better for readability of the g and (especially) P. I suppose not as well with some other letters, though.
