I just had a thought...since you don't work there anymore, I don't think you have any legal or moral obligations preventing you from making a public blog of the "Top Notch Work" that you vetted while there. If you slowly release the images, and invite others to submit to the blog you could have a great little corner of the web! Think "awkward family photos" but with wedding photographers. In particular, your snarky comments about the photos are comedy gold!
Also, if you have traffic, then you have a source of revenue. You can totally sell advertising on a blog like that.
I was thinking about that, but it's not so much the Bella part that was keeping me from making a site (although that was part of it) but the fact that those photographers still own the copyright to their images. I can't legally repost them (for profit) without permission. If they were submitting their work to me directly for the website, that would be different I think.
Plus! There are plenty of terrible photographers posting work online, but the part that made those so hilarious to me was the fact that they were actually applying to a job with that shit. I'm not sure how that would translate to other people submitting stuff. Hmm!

You're too good for them anyhow! Can I trust Jeff to booze you properly in your time of need, or do I need to send you some bourbon?
On the other hand, this might be a chance to do something new and exciting. Let me know if I can do anything to help.
