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.

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 […]

We just recently did a Google Virtual Tour of Icon Cellars, a small winery in Woodinville. In addition to the best known wineries like Chateau Ste. Michelle and Columbia, Woodinville has over 140 wineries, wine bars & tasting rooms for visitors to visit. Many of them are located in small industrial parks and it is amazing what they can do with the inside in creating a wonderful ambiance. In may cases you feel like you that you are in wine country.
