At $3.2M with that view, I certainly hope it isn't purchased as a knock-down ... :-/

Very 60s! I am assuming the kitchen cabinets and the beams are the only real wood in the house. The rest of it looks like Weldwood paneling that was so popular back then. The text is correct: The beige wall-to-wall has to go. Beige!! That has to have been added by a later owner.

.... so no one else thinks there's a rendered quality to the landscape and views? David's work appears more life like!

Ok, I've been putting off getting new glasses.

Hmm -- I see what you mean. Once upon a time, perhaps a dozen years ago -- not long after I discovered the Internet -- I found material on a young architect who migrated to Southern California and ended up in Santa Barbara. He discovered Wright early in his career, and built some interesting things. He also learned to photograph his work quite well. He described how he was able to get properly lighted interior detail and realistic exterior view on a single negative. As I recall, it involved a complex use of multiple exposure . . .

Of course, today we can fake practically anything. Reality is being augmented, if not replaced, by virtual reality.

I think they just went a little nuts with the High Dynamic Range photo processing. See that a lot in real estate photography now.
