[Members - click here] Over the past couple of weeks (articles) I've been bringing over all of the Bear-Pics amateur photos over to the PlanetBears Galleries. That task is now done and there were over 75 different galleries that were added. Now some galleries had 3 pictures in them while others had 300. In total there's over 2500 photos. These were pics that cute Bearish guys had sent to me over the years while I was running Bear-Pics ~ between '01 and '06.
Well, I went digging a little further into my archives and found the original BearPress Amateur Galleries. These are photos that were sent to me between '99 and '00. In total, there's 21 gallery however there's only 85 photos. You have to remember tho, this was a time just before folks had digital cameras. Sure it seems simple now to add your photos to the net - just use your USB and plug and play... but a decade ago it was a process for guys to figure out how to get their images onto a computer. Also, slow connections didn't allow for hi-res, so a lot of these photos from the BearPress are just glorified thumbnails. Anyhow, the point here is that ~ back then ~ receiving 4-6 photos from a Bear was a big deal (for me anyhow).
Well, after I had finished adding the Bear-Pics Amateur galleries, I saw it only fitting to add the BearPress Amateur Bear pics as well - yet more out of nostalgia than anything else (altho the guys that had the galleries are cute, there's just not enough photos of them to fully appreciate what they have to offer). Nevertheless, as I was adding them, I began recalling the online conversations I had with these Bearish guys now dating back to a decade ago... ahh, memory lane.
What's next for the PlanetBear's galleries? I'm hoping you guys will once again start sending in your photos. I also have a few photo shoots lined up with some husky teddies, and I have a few other ideas, so stay tuned.
