Thanks for the compliment, but the mirrors behind all of the bottles were distorting how the images came out, so there was strike one.Strike two was that there was uneven shadowing, so I had to use flash. Strike three was that flash causes glare-- and also flashback from mirrors. LOL. I don't want to be responsible for damage, so I left most up on shelves but carefully took down select bottles to photograph quickly as I had little time to do it.I would need 2 and a 1/2 hours to do it how I wanted but did about 150 photos in an hour. There were also boxes covering the floor, so I had to work around them:
Another angled picture in which you can read almost nothing. I took it as one of the final to show why my shots were coming out poorly. To my right were another several boxes. Also, there were a few to my left and some stacked-up boxes behind me.
^ My collection is not the size of even one of these custom-built systems. ^He's been collecting since around 1992.
Hemi, I'm asking you to tell Ron Fowler what I have in quotations.I'd tell him myself, but Ron has me blocked. LOL You're a great guy. You were the first person to stand up for me when one member here became quite mean just because he misinterpreted a harmless sentence. That member is the only one on my Blocked list as he just wouldn't shut up on it. Also, I'm not blowing a gasket: It's just that my stress-levels are so high that I'm done with keeping silent on things and about to be done pretending for everyone that I'm actually happy. There are only two places on the forum where people could begin to see just how unhappy I am. I just keep silent to not bother other people or make them think that I'm so whiney idiot. We all have our own problems. Most of us keep quiet on just how severe they are. Most of us never even make mention. And most of us hide just how damaging it all is. Steven is in Grand Rapids. I've not viewed his collection yet.I don't know if the man whose collection this is would like his name posted on it, but this collection is in Muskegon and is predominantly Muskegon and Nationals.I've been helping the owner of the collection lately with lots of things and will continue tomorrow and next week.
I don't want to get involved or dragged into any disputes or disagreements you have with Ron. I like Ron & he's always been very cool to me. I don't know enough about that Luders or bottles to argue about them. I just dig them & collect them. Yeah, I like to know what ever I can find out about them also. LEON.
