I finally have things at this web site about where I want them to be. It's been about a month since I started it, and all of the major categories have been populated with the right photos.
I'm thinking now that there are too many photos (especially mediocre ones) and I wonder if I have been critical enough as an editor of all this work to only show the really good examples of what I photographed during the past 50 years. The answer is that I have most likely not been ruthless enough about the body of work and that perhaps as much as half of all of it does not really belong here.
On the other hand, the purpose of the site is to show what I have done in photography over the years and not to promote myself as a photographer. I am not necessarily out to impress people. And, I don't need the work to attract people who can help me survive. Given that, it may work.
I'm going to hold off announcing it's status in places like facebook until I have let it all marinate for a while. Perhaps it will all look different in a month or so.
