Trawling through photos

I’ve written that Vince and I will soon stop taking photos at horse endurance rides. We’ve now told the riders that we’ll be stopping soon.
One rider asked us to pick out some photos of him from each ride and put them on a stick for him. It seemed he was too lazy to trawl through thousands of photos himself but in fairness he isn’t very techno savvy. He is easy to pick out as he is very tall and his horse is pretty short so his legs hang down below the belly of the horse. He rides a grey which makes it easier too.
He told us how much he wanted to pay and we’ve put a heap of photos on a stick for him. Our photos go back to 2018 and there are roughly two rides a month for six or seven months so that’s a lot of photos to go through. We might offer a similar service to other riders as once we stop, it would cost too much to keep the website functional.

@changjiangzhibin89 @TheHorse Sorry, folks. It's a USB stick. We've put the photos onto the 'stick' and he can download them to his computer or whatever.

I'm sorry you two will stop photographing the riders but understand you've got other things to do with your time. (I must have missed reading the discussion about you guys stopping.)

@JudyEv Oh, I see... That's understandable... I'm sure you'll be able to find plenty to do so you won't be bored.

It's complicated but I guess it's mostly that we're getting older. There is a lot of travelling sometimes and early starts. We could just do some of the rides but we don't really like doing that. There are several others that will take over the photos and we can take it easy.

@thedevilinme It does indeed and I think a few are posting less because of it.

That sounds like a good idea to offer photos to the riders.

Thanks for the kind words. We'll leave the website up for a while but eventually all the photos will disappear. We'll offer good discounts before that so hopefully people will buy what they want before that.

That would be a good service for someone. Let me know if you start posting on FB. Have a good week.
