of those of you who take digital cameras around on inspections, as we wish to incorporate as many real time problems as possible into this training. I know that several members have offered to do this previously, and I would ask those now to help out buy letting us have access to their “libraries”.


We will ONLY use them for on-line Educational purposes and credit those who’s photos that we use.


Please contact either myself or Chris Morell to see how to get them to us, and of course we will be happy to re-imburse for any expenses involved.


Thanks in advance for your help.

7,000 images?


I'm not sending 7,000 images. I did send a few of my better ones to Chris, but I'd like more info on what we are looking for here. As I told Chris, I'd like to see some good versus bad setups. Obviously, most of us don't take pictures of the good, preferring the outrageously bad. But in many instances the good can teach us more than merely laughing at the bad.

Hi Russel


yes you’re quite correct it is all too easy just to illustrate the problems and miss out on what a system should look like, especially things like mechanical systems. It is something we will have to address.


Thanks for your input

Russell,


Excellent suggestion!

Gerry, Perhaps you could compile a list of "bad" pictures that you have already acquired and ask the membership for "good" pictures of the same. That way the comparison would be side by side and would greatly benefit all of us, old and new.

I do not yet do the digital camera thing, but as soon as I get my scanner working properly I can send some pictures that way if you are interested.

Gerry, do you have a need for any particular photo topics? I have thousands of digital photos but most of them are not cataloged. I’d have to go through them to find some good ones. Just tell me what you need.


I also have many hundreds of photos that were done on film; most of them from electrical fire investigations . There would be some effort and expense involved with having them scanned but fire scene photos can have tremendous impact. These are also the kinds of things that many home inspectors rarely, if ever, have the opportunity to see.

Let me know what you would like. I am picture crazy and take an average of about 60 pictures per inspection. I have some inspections with as little as 30 and then some with as many as 200.
