Clearly the seller of this house is Erin Andrews.
Oh God, this is awful. I make an Erin Andrews reference and I link to the New York Post. What’s wrong with me? What? Why didn’t I go with the Kramer joke? Oh, I am filled with shame…

Copy & paste this:
You see, this house was built around a large aggregation of exotic matter. This creates a significant gravitational lensing effect on reflected light within the structure. But on the plus side, your closets are bigger on the inside than on the outside.
Its from a fish’s point of view.
After following this site as an RSS feed for at least a month, I am ashamed to say, only today the thought occurred to me as I looked at this listing…
How can there be enough ongoing material to make “lovelisting” a viable web-site? How is it possible, that day after day, there are so many new posts.
There is only one logical conclusion. Real Estate agents are morons.
Actually, there’s an endless supply of morons… and enough are real estate agents. Also, do the agents take all the photos? and some of the houses… well Annie Liebowitz couldn’t make some houses attractive… (I know… she does portraits.. but I can’t think of a house photographer… I guess they don’t get much respect…)
They are morons, and also they just don’t care.
I’m sure I could figure out how to do that to a photo, but it would take a serious graphic editing program.
As to WHY, I have no clue.
You need a fisheye lens to take pictures like these. It’s possible to stitch together a couple of these or a handful of regular photos to make a 360 degree view like those Ipix views.

That’s what I was thinking — maybe they were going to do the 360 thing but then … got bored? Forgot? Whatever — and then were like, eh, these’ll do.
*face desk”
Oooooh right. Ok that makes a bit more sense. It also explains why the 360/walk-throughs are always so distorted.
To me its all about real analogue photography. Not digital imaging. I use a digital camera but to me its juts a pale second, never quite good enough.
My parents new new home on the day they signed the papers:

I’ve tried E-mailing pictures like these, but everyone just complains it gives them a sore head.
I can’t quit giggling, “anal” og photography. Mystic said anal!!
Those aren’t fisheye pics! The house was built for Weebles!
If it is a house built for Weebles, then at least you don’t have to worry about it falling down, just wobbling a little bit.
“This house wobbles but it won’t fall down!” The ultimate earthquake-proof structure, coming to a fault line near you!
Looks OK to me!
Finally — we see the world as you see it.
Quit looking thru the peephole! I told you that you can come in and take pics when I’m ready!
Belly-button cam.
ESPN’s Erin Andrews is not amused.
Kramer and Newman live here.
You sure this isn’t inside a refurbished old submarine?
realtor: ” Oh my these rooms are tiny, I can’t get a lot in each picture. Here I better go get my fish-eye lens… there now the rooms look huge! the photo look tiny, and… round, but the rooms look huge!
I think I see someone crouching in the corner with a sock full of nickels…
As a person who cannot ever figure out how to use our camera, I am guessing that what happened was this:
Real estate agent’s teen daughter was having ‘fun with photography”–using the fish-eye lens as part of a HS photography class.
Agent takes the camera to the house and starts snapping away, clueless that darling daughter had never switched camera it back to the normal. She asks her assistant to post these. Assistant does what he is told because he has come in late 3 days this week and doesn’t want to get in more trouble.
The rest is Lovelylistings history.
I feel kind of dirty. I’m not used to looking at things like a peeping Tom.
I was thinking the “Peeping Tom” thing, too. I’m strangely aroused….
I would be furious if my agent did this, time to renegotiate the commission! That is IF they can even sell it with these pictures.
I was guilty of this when I listed my house. With a small room you cannot get all of the room in your picture with a standard lens. The lens you need to make it look right is about $800. I used a fisheye to do two rooms on my listing and now I can see how ridiculous it looks. Doing the whole house that way is pretty rough.
Um, actually, I think that photography was done by a student of MC Escher’s work:

And whatever you do, DON’T get caught on the stairs!

..or the hallway (now with bonus stairway action):

This is why submarines shouldn’t be real estate agents.
This was probably done with a Previsite camera.

THIS HOUSE IS RIGGED…..WITH CAMERAS!
SHOOT EM ALL!
