website hell
so i have been going through my entire website preparing galleries to transfer into a new website.
A lot of my older gallery sets are just full of images that i consider to be sub-par or too similar to others so i have wanted them off for some time.
Well it's had some time to build up. Right now on my site i have about 26,000 + images. ugh! So I have the task of personally cutting down those sets since I'm the only one who can do it the way i want. I also feel that it's someone deceptive (to the paying members) because sometimes those sets contain images that are too similar (i'm talking like 5 in a row). I could just leave it all, but it's really difficult to promote your own site if you don't feel that it's worth promoting. Plus, it's got my name on it.
After I weed out the ones I dont like, i have the wonderful job of photoshoping out any watermarks on the image. For some reason, many of the images just happen to have (www.kumimonster.com) slapped across the face or an obtrusive part of the image. sometimes it's in some garish color. annoying to all hell. So now, sometimes pixel by pixel, i am trying to fix this. i've gone through almost all of one photographer's gallery (Christine Kessler). Since she used to be my webchick I have a LOT of images from her. So far I've done about 3000 images (cut down to about 1000). My eyes hurt.
It is neat to see the work i have done in the past. Though sometimes it's not too fun to think 'wow, i look different' or 'wow, what a flat tummy. i better start doing sit-ups!' heh. But one this is certain, there's a shitload of work i've done over the years!
