Photo discussion thread

Originally posted by sadb7788I have a suggestion about the photo section: of course it's important to have a place here in which users can express their own opinions about the photos uploaded here. For this aim this topic is good. Nevertheless I believe it could be better if users could (maybe in addition to this topic) rate or leave a comment on each photo's page. I think it would be easier than get the link and post it here. Simply one sees a photo he/she likes very much and he/she expresses this feeling immediately. Then this topic could remain open too just as a discussion thread, as a reference point about our photo section.

Thanks for your attention in advance!

Heey, nice idea! That would be a improvement.. What do you think Remy?

I have a much better idea, I posted it already somewhere on this forums, maybe even in this thread.

I will create a favorite photo page in the future (just like the topic bookmarks), if you like a photo then you can add this to your favorites. And from all the known favorites of users I can generate an alltime favorite photo list.

Advantage of this way of making the list instead of the rating-way: it's much more fool-proof, if someone rates all photos 0 stars or 5 stars (for example) the rating isn't really representative. Or maybe I'll work with the hands up or hands down way of rating photos, or both. Still have to think about it and experiment some more.

Boy (1978-1983) 6

Vertigo (2004-2006) 174

Stinking amount of Boy/Oct/War photos compared with Vertigo.
I'm tryin to search constantly the net, looking for good Boy photos, but only a few have surfaced in a decent quality. Too bad.

they are so hard to find. It makes sense though that there is so little pics of Early stuff and so much Vertigo stuff because now days your standard digital camera can easily snap high resolution pics. You couldn't do that in 1980
