More on Eichler Homes
Here is an article that my father wrote, which was published in 1996, in the LA Times: Joseph Eichler Article
The article was adapted from an essay my father wrote, which served as an introduction to a book on Eichler Homes.

How to Calibrate Your Computer Monitor
As I mentioned in a previous blog post, calibrating your computer monitor is essential for obtaining the best results when processing, viewing and printing photos. Here is an excellent article on the Scientific American blog that provides an overview of the process of monitor calibration, including some suggestions for the hardware and software to use for this: "Gamma and White Point Explained: How to Calibrate your Computer Monitor".
I would like to add that, ideally, the white point to which you set your monitor should be consistent with the the color temperature of the ambient light where your monitor is located and where you evaluate your prints. I use a white point of D50 when calibrating my monitor, and I use a special fluorescent bulb that has a color temperature of 5,500 Kelvin (very close to the D50 color temperature), mounted in a softbox for nice, even illumination of my monitor/print viewing area.
For the more technically oriented, here is a more in-depth explanation of the process on the Cambridge in Color blog: "Monitor Calibration for Photography"

Updated Photos for the Lowell House
I was recently asked to do some updated photos for the listing of 215 Lowell Ave., Palo Alto, to show the exterior with Spring foliage and some of the interiors that had been restaged. Here are some of the photos. Thanks, Derk Brill, with Alain Pinel Realtors, for giving me another opportunity to photograph this lovely home at the peak time of the year.
