- [Making a Traverse City Real Estate Photography & Virtual Tour Company](https://www.bluelavamedia.com/making-a-traverse-city-real-estate-photography-virtual-tour-company/): The year was 2007. It had been five months since I had closed my photo store Blue Photo. After 32 years of faithful service and being in business for over 80 years in my family, it was time. I closed down the shop and spent a wonderful summer being a family man and spending time with the two children remaining at home. We camped, hiked, and shot lots of photos. I also spent the summer trying to keep up with the domestic duties, but according to my wife Pam, I was not doing the best job. As the summer came to a close, I was getting a little restless and decided that it was time to figure out what I would be doing in my second life. Pam assured me I would not make a good chef and also not to consider trying out for Dancing with the Stars. Yes, indeed it was really time to look elsewhere.
