Yesterday I was thinking of the amount of time and energy required to maintain such a site.
It is more or less the opposite of the "still waiting" pic that came in my mind.
I've been working as a web designer for years before been promoted art director (now I rest...) and I remember the stresssss.
I'm not sure if we always realise what is involved behind the scene.
-Writing constantly articles in a resumed form (wich is the most difficult form), thinking of the subjects, managing the articles written by others.
-Every single new article has a new picture or various, so you have to maintain a constant
rate of production and expose them to the world, albeit you are hill, tired, or without inspiration.
-producing the videos and selling them.
-Testing new gear, new softwares, learn how-to and write about them.
-Administate the forum daily, respond to posts, letters etc...
-the travels for working reasons that has to do with the website like Photokina etc...
-all the technical side of a website, including paying the bill to the host
plus
-the one-on-one printings in the gallery
-the printing that are needed for personal works and all what's involved in terms of time.
-the travels for personal purpose
-the works as consultant
-the antartida trips type and their planning
plus
-Family and friends time
-buisiness diner and obligations
-car driving (soon be more fun)
-the amonut of miles walking
-Toronto airport (and all the others) lost of time
and I'm sure I forgot some.
I make calculations and it does not fit. 1 day is 24hours and you need to sleep at least 5 hours a day.
How this is possible?!?
Onces really need to enjoy that to be able to maintain such a website at this level.
Is the clew in perfect organisation?
A special alimentation?
Passion?
Fitness?
Impressive really!
