This was a little tricky. The photos arrived electronically with news that some older photos were coming via snail mail. The older photos showed the house in its pre-remodeled state, and my instructions were to draw it at the angle in the new photo with the details from the earlier style.

Most people don’t take clear photos of their homes just to have the visual documentation. Instead, they photo their home if something unusual is happening. For example, once I was asked to draw the 4 homes a lady had lived in during her lifetime. 2 were in Los Angeles, and 2 were in Exeter, California.  3 of the 4 snapshots showed the houses in snow! Snow in California in the flatlands is definitely unusual, so that is the only reason the homes were photographed. Fortunately the old photos of this house weren’t in snow. Unfortunately, they never showed the entire house, and one had a pile of shingle rubble in the front yard! See? unusual events cause photography!
