chrisndeca Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) Hello Fellow Fur Lovers! This past winter, by way of scripts, I downloaded almost 200GB (yes GB) of photos from Instagram. I did this because I am a fur lover and I want to try and find as much real people wearing real fur as I can. That is a lot of photos! And I need some help sorting through them to find the fur pictures in there (and maybe discover some unknown up to now fur fashion lover). The pics that are found in these caches of photos will be posted to my Pinterest page that can be found here: http://www.pinterest.com/normac43/ and of course those doing the help of sorting of the images will be have new material to post places like here, or even someplace like flickr! I make zero money from this, it is just a hobby, so this is strictly volunteer work! All 200GB is sitting on my DropBox account. If you are interest in helping out, send me a PM or email me at [email protected]. About the images. I did searches for all the standard stuff like “fur”, fur Coat….” I also scraped up photos that had foreign words for fur. Most of the foreign words were Russian, but there is also photos with tags like pelz, pelliccia, bont and others. I also chose location tags. I scraped the locations for Red Square in Moscow, Moscow itself, a winter park in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Keiv, and several places in NYC. These locations will have a lot of photos that we have no interest in. But hopefully in those photos there will also be hidden gem’s in fur! If you have a Mac that should make this process easier with some tips from me. Those of you who only have Tablets or phones, I am sorry but there is too much data here Please let me know if you have any questions. Happy Fur (and fur photo) Hunting!

blowmybagpipes Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Which folders specifically are they in on your Pinterest page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisndeca Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Sorry, the folders exist on Dropbox. I mentioned Pinterest only as an example of my commitment to hunting down fur photos! Please email me or pm me for more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Hi Chris, I was looking in your "Things from the 80s that I miss" and noticed you never heard about Lena Philipsson. Here you go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisndeca Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Hi Marcel, Not sure I understand. Did I have a pin where I was trying to id the lady in the photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 The name is there,but it say you never heard about her and that you like her look. https://se.pinterest.com/pin/284008320223537959/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisndeca Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Thanks for the catch, Marcel. And yes I do very much like the look she is sporting in that photo. Would have better with a little bit of fur (maybe instead of the feathers). But a little bit of fur will add a lot to any woman's looks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 You're welcome! I haven't seen her in fur,a tiger pelt with head was the best thing i could find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panther10 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Damn....200GB of photos alone? I must have like 30,000 pictures on my pc and it still takes up less than 11 gigs of space on my hard drive. Damn you have one beefy computer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisndeca Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 Damn you have one beefy computer... My day job is as an IT guy, so it kind of comes with the territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samurman Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 And ten years ago, while packing to move to Italy, I relieved stress by archiving images from the now-defunct Webshots and MySpace public photo search. Many of them are saved in my backup drives. Some of them are really outstanding. A friend here offered to help me post them, but alas, I didn't contact them in time and we lost touch. It would be great if you could post those photos somewhere. You could use Flickr, as it gives 1TB free disk space to everyone for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisndeca Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 It would be great if you could post those photos somewhere. You could use Flickr, as it gives 1TB free disk space to everyone for free. My only concern is the future of Yahoo as a company and what that will mean to Flickr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbeaver88 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Flickr is probably the best method... fur sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther10 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Does Flickr have a bulk upload option though? Because if not he's going to have to upload them one by one and I can't imagine anyone wanting to do that given the choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisndeca Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 I've uploaded over 5000 images over the past day and a half, so yes there is a bulk upload option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisndeca Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 Just an FYI, with Samurman's help we have just scratched the surface of the number of photos that I have that need to be sorted and researched. So I am still looking for help, just in case anyone was wondering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther10 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Yeah I don't want to alarm you but people might have had enough of the internet by the time you're finished lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
