Weathering the Coronavirus Downturn

Want to avoid one of the biggest mistakes made by businesses when an economic recession hits? Then, don’t slash your marketing budget. It’s well documented that slashing marketing budgets in a downturn will only help protect short term profits. Unfortunately, for those businesses who do, they are very likely to emerge from the downturn less competitive and much less profitable. This is a unique downturn. It is generally agreed that the COVID-19 economic downturn will last for as long as the contagion is not contained. Once our medical experts get a handle on the virus with treatment and vaccines, the […]

Toy Store Fun at Snapdoodle Toys & Games

Over the past few weeks I have been having a lot of fun going to toy stores, Snapdoodle toy stores to be more specific. I dropped into the Snapdoodle toy store in Issaquah Highlands the week it opened to see if they’d like a 360° Google virtual tour and much to my delight, after checking with the owner, they said yes. Shortly thereafter, I did the photo shoot, processed and created the virtual tour with 20 images and uploaded it to their Google My Business listing. He liked the tour so much, he decided to do his other 3 stores […]

Bellevue Hyatt Regency Virtual Tour

I had the pleasure of doing a small virtual tour at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue last week. What a beautiful hotel. Among the areas I was able to shoot included two of their premium suites including their top of the line, the Kemper Suite on the 24th floor. It is a large multi room suite with great views. Have a look see: Best viewed in full screen This is a custom virtual tour that I used to show the marketing manager the tour before uploading to Google Maps. Make sure to take a look down.

Columbia Athletic Club at Pine Lake Virtual Tour

It seems to be health club photography time for me. On February 1st I did the photo shoot of the Columbia Athletic Club at Pine Lake in Sammamish, WA. It was somewhat challenging in that the club was open for business at the time. Of course, we planned it during a time period in which there were not many members around and I had the club manager on hand to run interference for me. Unfortunately, it was a rainy day, so I will be going back to add the exterior images to the tour. If you have been following the […]

Coal Creek Family YMCA Virtual Tour

I had a great New Year’s Eve with a large photoshoot at the Coal Creek Family YMCA in Newcastle, WA. The facility is over 49,000 square feet on two floors which opened in 2009. One of the challenges of doing the photoshoot was finding a time that no one would be around. If there are people in the shot, we either need to get written permission from them or blur their faces. It is much easier to find a time when no one is around and New Year’s Eve was perfect. The Club closed at 1 PM and I was […]
