10/09 Update to Picture Gallery!

[Grace]

Hey MKF Members!

For the past few months Heather and I have been hard at work at creating the largest Michelle Kwan Photo Gallery on the internet and found ourselves feeling as though we'd never finished. This is a collaboration between Heather and I, not necessarily associated with the forum directly. However, since both Heather and I are admins to the forum, we thought this might be a nice way to notify everyone about the gallery and notify people when there are updates.

We're still not finished, but we decided we'd open up a few albums at a time due to the sheer number of pictures we have. We figure it would be less overwhelming for all of you to browse through if we did this and more of you would be able to enjoy it. And at the same time we'd also feel as though we were getting somewhere. Most of the pictures have been uploaded, but not renamed or credited properly, and albums still need to be cleaned out with duplicates, etc, which is the main reason the gallery is still not done yet (they're hidden).

When we reveal more albums, we will update in this thread when they are completed and open to the public. However, when we add pictures to existing public albums, we will not post the information here.

If any of you have any pictures to add to the existing albums, please e-mail us with the attached pictures/links. Pictures related to the album heading (for example, an appearance on some news show we might have missed under News Media and TV Appearances) but we do not have would also be greatly appreciated!

Currently full resolution pictures are provided for everyone. However, if it comes to the point where there may be too much bandwidth usage, we will create accounts only for those who are donators to have access to the full resolution pictures. Hopefully it can be open to everyone.

Finally, here is the link (sorry, I know I'm always long and winded!)

Look here for many many more updates in the future! I know it doesn't seem like much right now, but we promise it will be huge when it finishes!

If you have any questions or comments, please post them in the following thread:

LOL, updates like this aren't going to happen everyday, but this one was close to being done already.

[Grace]

Updated Gallery.

Revealed mainly due to the thread in MKFanChat.

Events/Premiere's -> Disney -> 2003 California Adventures:
http://michellekwansite.com/gallery/v/events/disney/

[Grace]

I've decided to reveal at least one album - not sure how big or small, everyday, as a treat (unless I get really busy or something) but expect a new album everyday.

Today very small update, total 26 pictures:
I felt like I should release a few skating photos, though I cheated, since it's the season with the least # of photos :P

Competitive-> 1992 - 1993 & Previous Seasons
http://michellekwansite.com/gallery/v/competitive/pre92/

Revealed Michelle's Second HK Trip in Disney:
http://michellekwansite.com/gallery/v/events/disney/

Be sure to check around the existing galleries since Heather and I still have pictures on our hard drives that we hadn't uploaded, or we come upon some pictures on the web, or some sweet soul sends us a few. I know she still has a ton of scans :P For example, Heather added a few to the 1992-1993 and Previous Seasons, and I added a few to the ESPN weekend folder after I announced it yesterday.

I'm falling a bit behind on the gallery a bit, so for the next few days there aren't going to be updates until I've caught up.

Peter Buckingham IFS Photoshoot, 10 pictures
http://michellekwansite.com/gallery/v/photoshoots/2000-08/
Isabel Snyder - Newsweek 2002 PS, 12 pictures

Under New Album: TV or Movie Cameos & TV Specials
2005 Movie: Ice Princess, approx 33 pictures.
http://michellekwansite.com/gallery/v/media/iceprincess/
2001 Arthur, the Good Sport, 27 pictures.
http://michellekwansite.com/gallery/v/media/2001-11-19+arthur/

I actually think that's most of all the albums I've finished working on up to now, so that means I have a lot more work to do. For those who need to catch up to all the pictures, now is good :) To give you somewhat of an idea, only around 16% of the total amount of uploaded pictures are currently revealed. Most of the pictures do fall under competition though.

[Grace]

I don't know how often I'll be updating this gallery. Promising an album a day was getting a bit too much for me that I quickly got burnt out last time. Instead, I'll just try and update the gallery when I can/motivated to.

2005 Marshalls Competition
http://michellekwansite.com/gallery/v/competitive/2005-2006/2005+marshalls/

Oh, just realized I could reveal these, which are pictures everyone has seen:

I'm happy to say that the MK Gallery finally has a "Last Updated" section. Now you guys can (for the most part) see what pictures we've added to existing albums.

I'll still post when I reveal or have completed full albums.

Link is here:

and I created a thread for discussion on any of the photo gallery items, for those that have asked for one in the past:
