Meet Scott Asano

by

 

Scott Asano Photography is one of our preferred photographers. After we have staged a house, you can find Scott working hard capturing photos that will catch a buyers eye. Scott loves what he does and you will feel that with each moment he captures.

 

“A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety.”  – Ansel Adams

Memories are made in one moment in time.  My passion is to document these moments to last a lifetime.  Each photograph is a small piece of a bigger story.  I’m a storyteller.

Photography has been a lifelong love.  I remember taking photos on my dad’s Polaroid SX70 as a kid while on summer trip with my family.  I vividly remembering watching an image I took appear on the first print I made in my high school darkroom.  I guess it has always been a part of who I am.  At times, I’ve forgotten that… But have been fortunate enough to rediscover it along the way.  And now, I get to document so many different aspects of life with my camera.  

One of my favorite photographers, Gordon Parks, once said “The subject matter is so much more important than the photographer.”  I couldn’t agree more.  It’s people, the places, the fractions of time I get to capture that mean so much.  Photography is unique in that, if done right, can take you back to the very moment the image was made and allow you to remember the location, the people you were with, the things you were feeling.  To be able to share this with others is powerful.

As a photographer, I’ve been allowed opportunities to witness some incredible moments with some incredible people.  It is truly a gift that I love to share with others.

Save Money through Energy Efficiency

by

Everyone is always looking for ways to cut back on spending. Here are some tips on how to efficiently use energy in your home, and to lower the cost of your utility bills!

 

1)   Change light bulbs to energy efficient light bulbs

While energy efficient light bulbs cost more, they will save you money in the long run – and they are better for the environment!

2)   Reduce the amount of water usage

  • Don’t leave the faucet running when you brush your teeth – it can save you thousands of gallons of water a year!
  • Take shorter showers
  • Fix any leaking faucets. A leaking faucet can waste thousands of gallons of water a year
  • Use a watering can to water your plants rather than an outdoor hose

3)   Heating and air-conditioning

Unnecessarily using your AC is a major energy-waster. Closing the curtains is a great way to keep the outside temperature out. Placing a chair or other item of furniture against the window can help eliminate gaps where your home’s heating or air conditioning may be escaping.

4)   Program your thermostat

You can set times of day that you want the heat or air conditioning to run, preventing it from running frequently while the home is empty during day time hours.

 

5) Unplug electrical devices

Small electronics consume energy even when they are turned to stand-by or off position. The energy you could be saving by unplugging these items is substantial.

Starting Life Anew in Georgia

by

After living in the same home in Indiana for 25 years, we were so concerned about relocating and starting life anew at our age. The team at Pinewood Realty understood our needs and desires.  We appreciated them taking their time with us and being patient in the decision making process.  Best of all, they made us feel like family which is a rare relationship this day in age.  We never felt it was all about the money but more about us finding peace and joy in our new surroundings.
