10k seconds is a couple hours, 10k minutes is a week, having to photoshop each one for a few minutes each is gonna start to be months of time. So that's why I got this scanner. It's a CZUR ET24 Pro.

So that's why I wanted a scanner. This takes pics/scans in 1 second and I can place it and choose what part of the area to scan so I don't have to crop anything. Plus I can use a foot switch to take the pictures which saves a ton of time. Each second is helpful when we're taking thousands.

Also, I'm not sure why, labels that were very red or very blue often were difficult to take pictures of. They would come out washed out or just odd.

Records that were lightly colored, especially light green or yellow often showed up mostly white or tan. You can mostly tell that this record has a greenish blue color but visually it is much more than the photo shows.

Records with silver/shiny text wer also notoriously hard to take pictures of. It would either take all the light and look shiny or fade into the background.

I never had luck getting a really good solid light setup because I couldn't dedicate a space to this and I work in a basement so natural light wasn't abundant. Many pictures have glare or obvious side lighting. Records are VERY shiny.

According to my hard drive I've taken around 20,000 photos of records for Dollar Country. I made a rig for photos of 45 labels that works great but it relied on a phone. It was way better than holding it in my hand, but I still had a lot of light issues...

I got an archival scanner made for digitizing books and it has made me feel so happy. I've been wanting a standardized way to take pictures of my records for YEARS. (chip clip not included)

What's interesting, though, is that, unlike the CMAs, the Grammy for best country album OFTEN goes to non-"traditional" artists.

It’s amazing that the Grammy’s think they’ve found a solution by inventing Best Contemporary Country and Best Traditional Country categories rather than opening themselves up to approximately 450% more drama.

At least when the first Grammy for "Traditional Country" comes out, we can expect some great history/thinkpieces explaining how "tradition" is all fabricated.

The word the world desperately needs to describe Kendrick's halftime show is "Gesamtkunstwerk"

Kendrick Lamar’s Multilayered Halftime Show Was About Far More Than Just a Rap Beef
To dismiss the performance as the squandering of a global platform in service of nursing a petty grievance is to miss the significance of exactly what he is saying.
