One of largest and most regal homes I have photographed was Villa Lago. Weighing in at nearly 10,000 sqft, this 2011 D’asign Source Built Home had the sweetest owners I had met in a long time. They were there during the shoot and took pride in showing me several interesting hand picked design materials and every one had a story from their past travels. One that really stuck with me was the barrel tile roof who’s cost they told me could rival the annual GDP of a small country.

Melody Key, Formerly owned by one of my favorite bands, 311! This private offshore Island was high tech! Even though it was off the grid, it had all of the creature comforts of home with solar power, tons of batteries, a generator and desalination plant. Located about 1/2 mile from Summerland Key, just 30 minutes northeast of Key West. It wasn’t quite as cool to just be taking photos there, but I could imagine quite the concert and parties there back in the day.

Shooting homes for over 10 years has given me the opportunity to shoot some wildlife photos from time to time. It is much safer and less disruptive to zoom in on them from the ground as some of the predatory birds will chase the drone to defend their territory or worse yet, seeking an unhealthy meal. It may seem counter intuitive, but the best way to avoid collisions with wildlife is to ascend quickly directly vertical. This unusual movement typically makes clear that it is not a bird that they are chasing. Even so, they are on to you and it is best to quickly abort the flight and fly another day.
