I've really enjoyed this week's posts. The fan art theme is hard for me to let go of. There are so many brilliant examples in my files, I hate to leave so much on the cutting room floor.Collecting "pictures" as digital files really began with my obsession over Alan Rickman playing Professor Snape. Back in the day, I remember thinking, "Someone really ought to come up with a way to access and sort images that's more useful and attractive than a list of file names. Like, Thumbnails would be nice...." I even purchased software called Scanalog to help me do it. I considered it a business expense since I had hundreds of clippings that I had saved in the course of designing sets that I wanted to scan and store on my computer. Then, at some point, Windows caught up [no, I did not invent Windows 7] and searching for my picture files became a breeze.
OK, that was a serious digression...doing that a lot lately.....ahem. ANYWAY, I've decided to bridge the end of Fan Art Week to tomorrow's Alan Rickman post by filling the weekend with my favorite Snape fan fantasies. There'll be a few more tomorrow...it's a festival!
