H'lo
I for one have not heard of people not wanting to
put their collection up... ? The three obvious
reasons for not putting one up are 1) lack of
resources, 2) lack of motivation, 3) lack of pride
in one's collection ^_-
The way I look at personal on-line galleries is
thus: a given cel collector has equal or inequal
parts sadist and masochist. ^_^ We want to 'share'
our collections with the world and promote some
kind of envy, while we constantly subject
ourselves to the same longing by visiting other
galleries. Sort of a never-ending cycle. So if
your sadist side is stronger, you'll definitely
want to put up all your cels, etc. (j/k!)
The only "practical" real-world reason why I
wouldn't want to put my cels up is, if my cels
are particularly valuable, for instance, there is
the chance of the images being stolen - perhaps
for fraudulent use (as more recent news about eBay
might suggest). Of course, if you don't want
ANYONE to download your images for any reason,
then you shouldn't put up a gallery at all. ..
*shrug* I'd say I'm equal parts sadist/masochist.
Hahaha!! ^_- |
