Film on Paper, a new site showcasing original movie posters, was launched about a week ago from today, Eddie Shannon, proprietor of the site shares an interesting bit on the photography side:

At launch there are 1494 posters represented with their own individual pages and a total of 12,080 images attached to them. These pages represent approximately 950 individual films (exact figure to be confirmed). All the photographs were taken by me and in total over 2 terabytes of images were captured before they were curated. Every single image was manually tweaked (lens correction, cropping, white-balance corrected etc) using Adobe Lightroom.

In total I have spent well over 1000 hours preparing the site for launch.

Passion is the magic juice that fuels creativity, 1000 hours is 100 days of a 10-hour workday, if he averages $50 per hour, he has put about $50.000 of his heart and soul to his new (free!) website.
