Really cool collection! It seems like these are just photographed on a desk? Would recommend a flatbed scanner if you don't have one already!

- rorylaitila 1y agoThank you! Yep, just photographed. I considered scanning but because of the volume I need to save every second possible of effort per ad. I have about 50k ads already and that is at best only 1% of the source material out there! Only full page ads are being published to the site but I'm cataloging every single minor ad too. I want to rig up a static camera and better lighting and I think that will get a better overall image quality.
- tailspin2019 1y agoI like this approach. I’d get too caught up in the perfectionism trap of trying to capture perfect images and would never actually reach the point of publishing anything! The website is very nicely done!
- rorylaitila 1y agoThanks! Yeah, I've had to scale back my ambitions a lot to even make a dent in the backlog...
