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.

I’d like to personally thank Sean Moore of HomeGauge for donating over 7,000 web-ready images to our upcoming online continuing education program. Thanks Sean!

Wow that is fantastic
Sean thank you so much for your generosity.
for those who do not know Sean & his company HOMEGAUGE one of the best suppliers of Inspection software (and who missed Chris's subtle link) here is the non subtle version.

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.

Yep that Sean guy is pretty great to work with. And the Homegauge software is great. I love using it and I get nothing but compliaments on my reports.

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.

Hi Ron,
always in need of good quality defects pictures, I would suggest to all members that they upload any pictures to the picture gallery, and please fill in the description box so that the library can be searched for individual topics.

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.

Hi to all,
Nice pics Danny, I will recuse myself from answering, as I'm going to make you by me a beer anyway, see you Monday   
For those who don't know Danny, he is the graphics designer for Inspection Depot and is the guy who develops the Images that we now use for the tip of the day and in our educational products.

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.
