I maintain a web site for a local painter who's also a photographer (wedding shooter). What he paints are house interiors - not standard wall-with-a-roller kind of painting but custom hand-painted murals, trim designs and faux finishes. Anyway, he sends me his photos of the interiors he's done recently and I set up new pages on his web site. His interior shots are godawful. Single, direct, on-camera flash. Cheap wide angle lenses (I assume they're cheap because of the barrel distortion) pointed any which way without *any* regard to perspective distortion - I mean, I don't expect him to use a view camera and correct everything with shifts, but you'd think he could put a *little* thought into it! I have to put in a ton of Photoshop work to make his shots even half way presentable. (I have often wondered what his wedding shots are like...) Anyway, this is a long-winded way of saying that I can now REALLY appreciate top-notch interior photo like this. Well done, Paul!
