I can not explain in words how great these pictures are. Therefore, I will do an interpretive dance to relay my feelings next time we meet... in Rome perhaps?

i like how cory and i both use the word "tight" to describe these.

dude. sweet.

i like the top two a little more than the bottom one for the fact that they obscure the inside more because it's blown out. i can see the back of the tiny house and i don't necessarily want to. i do really like the sky in the bottom one and the way that there are visible light rays coming from the top windows at a different angle than the bottom ones.

the color in all of them are pretty great. i still wonder what they would look like with tiny little window treatments like cory suggested that one day, but i don't think that they're absolutely necessary. just might add to the illusion a little.

i enjoy how the hill that it sits on kind of gets hinted at but never really fully revealed, you have a lot of subtle lighting which is sexy. just keep cracking it out, i say. you're on a great track. my comps dying, we'll talk more later.

yeah, i made some shades for the windows but since they are such long exposures they are just getting blown out. it only really helped in light ray variation, the top right window being the only one with no curtains. i need to make thicker curtains, maybe change f stop, etc. i still have one house that i havent shot yet b/c i want to work out all the issues that your bringing up. i want to build a floor for the second story, add some wallpaper, some small things on the inside. i also feel like i've been tying my own hands together as far as what i can get out of these houses b/c of the craft of the houses themselves. they don't look to hot when you get too close, they are made of cardboard. i might need to suck it up and just build one.

Jason, I really love these photos. The first reminds me of the house in the movie, "Coraline" in a way. I like the progression of them - as if it starts at night, then it gets a little lighter, then the sun is peaking over the horizon bringing light by the third one. I know you put a lot of work into making the model, and it looks awesome!!!
