Once I used to take breaks while uploading photos, I didn`t upload all photos at once but waited days, weeks sometimes months to complete threads. I did it for three reasons: 1 To prolong the time spent on studying specific topics. 2 To prevent problems for people with poor Internet connections, especially when they click on Recent photos button. 3 Not to bore you to death with hundreds of photos all at a time. Sorry but I changed the policy. Main reasons - my forgetfulness and lack of time. 1. I forget what I have already posted or not yet. After a few weeks I have to start from the beginning and check what is already put in the forum. E.g., it came as a surprise to my mind why there were so few threads about Wrocław compared to other major cities. I checked it today and found out I had simply forgotten to finish the Wrocław board, with hundreds of ready photos waiting in silence on my hard disc since 2011! That is unbelievable and there must be some hidden meaning in it. Is it because Wrocław was German for so long and I don`t treat it as a fully Polish city?  2. I don`t have time to do such checks and recall what was already posted or not. Hence, the change. |

Dear Bonobo,
You are doing a fine job and I understand very well that you I don`t have time to do such checks and recall what was already posted or not. I work with large quantities of Adobe Premiere Pro Video interviews, newsflashes and programs on my tv station. And maybe it isn't exactly the same as your Forum photo upload task, but I have also some limitations.
I hope you don't have the technological server problems I have sometimes professionally uploading tv versions and youtube version of our work. Our external broacast system company who puts our work online to air for TV often has technical problems. And therefor (very annoying) deadlines for tv streaming sometimes aren't met. When you have to air a new tv news on 18:00 hours you want it to play at 18:00 hours and not at 19:00 or 20:00 hours or not at all. (In the worst case scenario).
In your case with this Forum, realise that your visitors are already very happy with al the photographic material that is already present. Fellow Forum members know you have a teaching job, your family and your new farm somewhere in the Polish countryside. You must use your time efficiently and act pragmatic as a father and educator.
I will contradict or object to one of your statements. You do not bore me to death with hundreds of photos at all. I am a photographic freak surrounded by friends (about 50% of my friends is professional photographer) and photography all the time and I love it. I love the sociographic, historical, anthropological, cultural way you post images of towns, cities, villages, hamlets and rural area's and Polish infrastructure.
You do your job well.
Cheers,
Pieter

Cheers, Pieter Thank you for your support, it is very encouraging. No technical problems except that when I upload hundreds of photos at once, a few get missing during the process and when I post them in the forum, there is blank space instead of a photo. Then I have to go back and repeat the uploading for those missing ones. |

And I have to agree with Jeanne. Your photos are my window into Poland and beyond too! It might seem I am more active in writing on the other Forum, but you can't see how much threads I have read and watched over here. Especially Polish art (old and new), history, culture in general, architecture, infrastructure, cities, towns, people, customs and religious subjects (both Roman-Catholic and Jewish) fascinate me and I have learnt a great deal visiting this Forum just reading, going through old and new conversations of other Forum members (you, Tufta, Jeanne, Mike and etc.) and going back to history via both your black and white and colour photo images.

You are not bored because you are visibly infected with a certain kind of obsession. (It seems we share the same obsession, btw). That makes you special and I am proud of having you as members of this forum. Everything I do, I do it for you, let`s be honest, because one of my features is utter loyalty to people who decided to trust me and be loyal to me. |
