Cleanup Mission: stage #1 completed!

zonk volta — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 19:00:07 +0000

Hi dudes! Cleanup Mission keeps on going straight to the target! In the last two days I deleted 3.719 images from my Flickr account. Now, 3.262 pictures are present. The target is to reach quote 2.000 (less is better, but I’ll see). It is incredibly strange to discover the trash a photographer creates in a couple of years … I’m pretty sure you won’t miss my “trash”. Results are still visible: better navigation, better shots, better ideas.

A little summary of the workflow:

mission starts from —> 6.981 pics —> 3.262 —> 2.000 (c.a.) pics —> add tags to images —> find out a better “sets” and “collections” organization —> fix the blog with missing images —> optimize and speed up the blog (it’s so slow, isn’t it?)

If you can’t see embed images on the blog, don’t worry: I’ll fix the issuu once I cleaned my Flickr portfolio.

Have a nice evening!

Cowabunga!

Flickr photo cleanup

Dear followers, I’m working to drastically reduce the number of pictures on my Flickr account. Right now, almost 7.000 (exact number is 6.981) pictures are avaible on my page, so I decided to cleanup “trash” to keep just the best of my photo production.

It sounds like “Keep the best, trash the rest”.

Why I’m doin’it?

#1 – To grant high quality standards to my followers
#2 – Initially Flickr meant to me to be something like an archive. Now I prefer to use it as a portfolio.
#3 – Less picture = more attention
#4 – Last but not least: styles change, artist change, ideas change, so some pics don’t represent my job anymore

For a few days emanuelebarboni.info and my Flickr account will be unavaible (or partially avaible).

I’ll inform you when the cleanup will be finished!

Cowabunga !!!
