About Me

I love to share !

As a Google guide contributor I advanced quickly and was eligible for Trusted Pro status. I accepted and continued contributing at my leisure since I enjoyed it so much. Soon after exceeding 7.5 million views I accepted my first media related hire and began a new professional profile (LINK).

Google offers so much in the form of media and services and someone needs to be available to help Google customers manage their sites, photos, VR & Tours ... that where I come in

Your Smart Phone and 360° Photography - Google Street View GSV Maps - DIY

Good Morning, Do you have an iPhone or Android ? Surely you have one or the other right ? What did you have before an iPhone ? Oh yeah, the Apple music box thingy ..... the iPod, that's it ! My gosh, before that it was music on CD, cassette, 8-track, record ... it's amazing how these things have changed. Photography is starting to see new and interesting changes as well. Just in the past few years 360°photography has grown in leaps and bounds and has introduced some very neat concepts and results. The diversity of 360° photos range from fun shots with the family to high end, high resolution, high cost photos that can be used to create an online replica of a real environment. Recently in an online chat I was sent a link to someone's photography profile. It was pictures of a resort that were taken with a high-end DSLR camera and stitched together in a fashion that creates a 360° environment.

Becoming a Google Guide, Google Trusted Pro, and/or Google Street View Contributor

Perhaps there has been a time you were at a really cool or unique location and witnessed "Google", or someone wearing weird "Google" brand-style clothing (Trusted Pro logo is very common), taking pictures or using cameras and mobile technology to record at a site. Maybe you even got lucky enough to witness a driver documenting a Street View recording using the Google car with the weird camera on the roof. More often than not these are everyday ordinary people like you and I and they are "Contributing" to the world according to Google.

While checking my email routinely I noticed a contact email from the eBay member I just made a purchase and return through. The email was regarding the returned merchandise and the associated USPS tracking number. The seller claimed I shipped the parcel back to the wrong address. How is this possible? – eBay provides the return shipping label online at a click of the button. I logged into eBay and retrieved the tracking number in question. I looked it up on the USPS web site and I compared the ship from and the ship to address of the seller. The seller’s claim was accurate, eBay’s return label did not send the package back to the seller, instead it send it to what appeared to me as the sellers last know address. I had to open a case on eBay which was escalated to Paypal and denied for the reason that no tracking number was provided to show I ret
