Hi RC2,
Thanks for the message.
At this point, it would be too much time and trouble to go back and re-shoot all of my photos. There may be more than 10,000 photos. I began this project in 2012. That was 9 years ago. And I began my website (which is Phase III of my project) in 2015. That was 6 years ago. I would like to get this project finished so that I can get on with my life. This entire project, including my website, has consumed too many years of my life already. When I first began this phase of my project (my website), I thought it would take 6 months. Here I am, 6 years later, and there is no end in sight.
I know that you are relatively new to
Forum. You weren't active when I began this project all those years ago. Coming into this project, it was never my intention to shoot
auction quality photos. I just wanted to shoot decent photos for educational purposes, for the purpose of documenting my
collection in the event of loss or theft, and maybe for posterity purposes (possibly establishing a
pedigree after I pass away).
To be perfectly honest with you, I (along with many
Forum members at that time) was shocked that my website even got off the ground and actually worked. A few
Forum members at that time publicly wrote that my website would be a "train wreck" (and that is a direct quote). Considering the very low expectations of me at that time, I think it turned out very well. I am satisfied with my photos. They are
good enough for me.
