Let’s get one thing straight: I love driving. The open road, the hum of the engine, the freedom to go wherever I want – it’s my kind of therapy. But most of the time, it’s a solo act. My friends and family have reached their saturation point with my travel tales, so I’ve turned to the next best thing: shooting videos of my drives. It’s like having a silent co-pilot who’s always up for an adventure.
December 2019: The Foggy Prelude to Luxembourg
Picture this: it’s early December 2019, late afternoon, and I’m on a foggy road to Luxembourg. The mist is so thick, it’s like driving through a cloud. But hey, I’ve got a job to do. Real estate photography waits for no one, not even Mother Nature.
The Apartment: Where Mediocrity Meets the Lens
I arrive at the apartment, and let’s just say it’s not going to win any design awards. The walls are a shade of beige that screams “meh,” and the furniture looks like it’s been through a few too many moves. But a job’s a job, and I’ve got my trusty camera to make even the most average space look Instagram-worthy.
The People: The Silver Lining of Any Job
The redeeming quality of this gig? The people. They’re the kind of folks who offer you a cup of tea and ask about your day. It’s a small gesture, but it makes all the difference. In a job where you’re often a fly on the wall, a little human interaction goes a long way.
The Drive Back: Reflecting on the Ups and Downs
As I hit the road back home, I can’t help but reflect on the day. Sure, the apartment was nothing to write home about, and the fog made for a challenging drive. But the people were kind, and the journey itself was, well, interesting. And isn’t that what life’s all about?
It’s Not Just a Job, It’s a Journey
Being a real estate photographer is more than just capturing spaces; it’s about capturing experiences. From the foggy roads to the average apartments and the genuinely nice people, every day brings something new. And that, my friends, is why I wouldn’t trade this job for anything.
So the next time you see a foggy road ahead, don’t dread it. Embrace it. Because you never know what adventures lie in the mist.
