NickO,
Some of your hypotheses may be correct.
In the spirit of pure passion for each piece on it's merits rather than set against the million$ collection table-shot, we have always felt uncomfortable with the 'legs-wide-open' and look at my collection photo.
Some people are also uncomfortable with the Friday photo huge thread that pushes horological discussion off-the-screen.
This is not to say that we cannot show the collection in context for example: a themed group of chronographs
or single brand family-shot
or all-tonneau case-shape vignette....etc.etc.
I am open to the community changing it's comfort zone a bit.....
Regards,
MTF
PS. I am considering a special page for the Friday "wotcha wearing" threads....we may call it the "Thank God It's Friday Wotcha" page, only appearing on Fridays
