Ok, so now what do you do with them???

[hankejp]

I upload the good ones, at least the ones I think are good, to Flickr. Then post them here and email the links to my mother. Never thought of creating a calendar. That's a good idea.

Learn the fine art of self editing!

Which is a thread I am just about to start.

Is that opposed to having someone else edit you?- Like cloning your head?

Anyway, I guess I'm fortunate in that I have a practical use for nearly everything I shoot. I've been kicking around some new ideas, but can see here a few directions I'd like to go in as well.

"Can't you just buy more frames?"

Yes, but I'd also need to buy more walls.

Yes, but I'd also need to buy more walls.

You can write that off on your taxes, right?

I certainly do not have 200,000 unique and wonderful images ....

But with those not so bad bloopers of mine I do:

- make calendars for friends and family and myself, usually customised to the taste of the respective person.

- presentations for people interested in it (slide projections, and recently also data projector presentations on 15 x 8 feet)

- sometimes spam TPF with images

- on rare occasions my images end up as illustrations in magazines, on webpages of schools and charities.

Since I post on forums, sometimes my images are 'borrowed' against my will, I once found images by me of very young Japanese schoolgirls in uniform on a pervert's website, and I found images of the former WTC used by other webpages without my consent.

How did you find out about the "borrowed" images?

Print some, post some on my site. Which I have been lazy in doing either. Actually work and life get in the way of me getting motivated to do it.

I download the images onto my computer into a "Sort" folder. Then I go through and rename them with the date and a description. I move them to categorized folders in a "Photo" folder where the original files will stay.

Then I play around with them, deciding which ones I want to upload and which ones I want to print. I usually don't have time, so I don't finish.

The next day, or a few days later, I may look at them again, but different photos. I play around with those ones forgetting about the ones I already was working on.

This continues until I have 7000 images that I may or may not have looked at and haven't processed any of them.

I have over 10,000 images now from 2002 through today. I have a few uploaded and after 9 months of getting into photography enough to have a manual capable camera and researching and learning about photography, I have finally printed a batch of photos for the first time. So, out of 10,000 images I have taken the last 6 years (9 months of that is with the photography knowledge learned rather than snapshooting), I have three 8x10 photos of the kids on the wall and an envelope of 30 4x6 images sitting in my laptop bag at work.

I play around with looking and sorting them on the computer a lot. I just haven't finished hardly anything. Here is a post I just made in a thread about sorting images of what I now want to do to organize my sorting and get things done.

40,000+ pictures. 175 prints.

I just like to look at them and have them on file. I am always using them for something. Prints....collages.....just about everything

Who the **** has that many images hanging around that they need to sort through in one sitting?

 

[iflynething]

I certainly don't. I sort them upon d/l to my computer
