Do you collect PHOTO's of BJD's?

I've been doing this for years as well. I'm not a big commenter on other people's photos but I appreciate them by saving them on my computer and looking at them from time to time. And, like kiyakotari, I also have a picture slideshow as my sceensaver. I mostly save owner photos but I have a lot of company ones, as well as face up and clothing photos. I have less other people's photos than my own but there are still thousands and I've had to make dozens of subfolders for them.

I do find that my tastes gradually change, so every once in a while I look through the folders and clean them up (takes me hours). Also, I really wish more people watermarked their photos with an address to their site or something, because sometimes I wish I could find new photos of a certain doll but I can't remember the owner. So, lately when I've saved photos I've renamed them so that I see which community/site I got it from and who the owner was. I hope that'll help me find my favorite dolls in the future.

 

I used to do that. Maybe I should get back in the habit. :3

On deviantArt I have a collection of BJD photos - if that's what you mean.

 

i love bjd photos so i always store in my hd i love to watch them from time to time

 

Absolutely! X3

 

I save photos of dolls I want...this helps me to make up my mind if I really like the doll....I need all the help I can get! Lol.
Lets face it, there are some gorgeous doll photos on this forum and like alot of other members, I sit and admire the ones I've saved every once in a while....some of them I know I will never buy as I'm not rich....but it's nice to dream....it would be a different story if I won the lottery though!

 

I have a BJD 'collection' on DeviantArt, but I don't really save any onto my computer unless it is an outfit I like and want to try making something similar. If there is a gallery thread I particularly like on here I generally just subscribe to the thread and go back to look.

 

I only keep photos of dolls I've already bought and will buy soon.

 

I usually keep photos of specific models of dolls, to see what other owners do with them. I use them for mostly inspiration


I may start saving ones for face-ups... since I like to see what possibilities there are 83

 

Oh, definitely yes. ^_^ Whenever I browse around Y!Japan, I end up with a small herd of photos smattered around my desktop. I like to keep them for reference for future face-up ideas sometimes.

 

yes. i saved over 2000 pictures of BJD

 

Yessss~
In my BJD folder I have subfolders for sculpting ref, (inside of joints and stuff) painting ref, hair I like, clothes I like, my favorite sculpts, and Hanano. (My fave BJD maker, he gets his own folder with practically every picture from him blog. )
So far it says there are 462 files.
It's not all BJDs, there are some real people and some drawings and other random stuff too.

 

I have plenty of photos from doll meet ups with other people's dolls. And a few other outstanding dolls I liked.

 

I'm a chonic picture save with most topics, but with dolls, not so much. I tend to subscribe to threads or favourite pictures on Flickr before I save them, which I should probably do since sometimes the pictures I love get taken off. That said, I really only have a handful of doll pictures, perhaps a hundred or so compared to the 10,000+ that are in my folder of other subjects.

 

Yeah I've got a folder on my computer for dolls.
I have maybe 150 pictures right now?

Most of them are the official images from IpleHouse, DoD and such.
a few are pictures from here.

Every now and them I'll show them to people I know. I've actually sucked a couple people into the hobby that way. XD
Just got someone today actually.
Showed them a bunch of pictures, told them about prices, some websites, and now they want to save for one. XD

 

I actually don't save pictures of other people's dolls--though I probably should start! After going through three computers in a really short time, I started to value having a "clean" hard drive. I don't save anything I don't need, and almost all my extra stuff (like my own photos of my own dolls) are saved on an external.

I actually saved one photo of another member's dolls, and it was Midnitestar7's photo of her Cuprit. I saved it because I was searching for it to find out what doll it was--I just HAD to have one. Once I learned what doll it was (and since bought one!) I deleted the photo.

 

I do!
I do not reproduce them anywhere, but I DO keep pics from this site or companies on my compy in a file folder that I use as a screensaver. It's preeeetty.

 

Well, I always love to save pictures of all the dollies that inspire me in little ways. It's my special little doll folder that I tend to keep to myself. c:

 

YES and my file has the same name! i must have hundreds of photos of random BJDs now, most of them are owners dolls, but some company photos are so beautiful i have to keep them. i also have a huge archive of photos of dolls i would like to have and i collect photos of them taken by their owners.

it would be really great to have an artbook full of beautiful bjd i would definitely buy it

 

I don't actually "save" photos of dolls, but I do like to go back to ones I like often.
