Image destination

[JAS_Photo]

Imagekind.com is basically an extension of Flickr where artists and photographers can sell their work. I have not decided if it is a good thing or not but you can load your work on there and if someone that you know (or a complete stranger for that matter) is interested in your work it is an option. There is a choice of papers that your work is printed on so you can recommend a higher quality paper. I print up quite a bit of my stuff for myself or for others and I prefer to print on the Hahnemule. I guess at some point you have to consider your work 'Art' and treat it as such. But I am a 'hobby' photographer it is not my profession.

We have home server that does nightly and weekly backups so my photo folders are included in those. As the backups are duel it means I have several copies of my photos cluttering up my harddrives.

Last week I spent a lot of time going through many of the photos I have deleting much that are no longer up to scratch due me taking better shots at later dates. I also culled out a lot of photos that were fine but simply too similar to other photos.

Excluding event photography the rest of my better photos get printed in A4 so I have a pile of those. Some are in a portfolio I can hand to curious visitors and some are loose.

I'm getting some large frames made up so I can put up some of my better landscapes around the house in 20x30 inch.

The next plan will be to have a digital photo frame and load that up and keep it running 24/7. I've waited though because I wanted to get something with a half decent size/res. They are slowly getting there I think.

I have two sets of cd's, one in a fire proof safe.

After burning photos, I only keep the handful that really mean anything to me on the computer. I have one folder for that..to date has maybe 50 photos in it.

Those are the photos that I enlarge, I have a look in my head on how I want this house to look like after we renovate and it should look sharp!

Most times I do 4x6 of all the half decent images to have at hands sight in case.

Although I will be switching up filing system that I find faulty.

Good thread topic!

I must confess.......

At this point in time, well over 99% of my personal shots sit on my hard drive waiting for me to process them.

It sucks and it's one of the biggest cons of going digital IMO.

I completely forgot about this thread until I saw it again tonight!!!

So, we see a bit of printing, framing, tossing, hoarding. The full gamete. Hmmm. Maybe a few more contributors to the thread may offer some more ideas?
