The Old Ruminator said:Well yes Laurie. Do I show my relatively poor images and try to tell a story or hoard them at home perhaps chucking a few on Facebook. Not everyone likes what I do here and, of course, they are welcome to their opinion. I have over 4,000 cave related images now so it is getting a bit hard to manage such a mass. Many will go into Photobooks which may survive myself and the social media. Ultimately you have to live with what you believe in and take the expected knocks you know will arrive. Maybe its something about legacy. What you leave behind when you are gone. Hopefully for the good. My mate had hoards of diving related research he would let nobody see. He died diving and left nothing as a legacy. Many years of work for nothing. Lord knows where his stuff is now. Much of his work was actually repeated as folk never knew it had been done.
Like many other cave photographers we have an extremely large database of cave related photos dating back many years, including entrances, underground shots, formations, foreign trips, digging and exploration. These are all sorted, named and dated. The database is easy to search and all of the photos will all be offered to the MCRA or other relevant groups.
