Some photos of my Astro screenshot collection

I finally concluded my work on the 2003 Astro screenshot compilation. I felt like sharing some pictures.
The first 5 photos show some samples of 8 ring binders containing screenshots from the 1980's series, which I finished compiling 2 1/2 years ago.

A close-up of the ring binders' labels (2 different layouts):

That's how I layed out the episode register. Like that, it's easy to navigate through the screenshots.




Now these are photos from the 2003 series Astro screenshots compilation. I pasted the final frame just yesterday.


Again, a close-up of the labels (2 different layouts here as well):

The register (I had to open the cover for taking the photograph as the sheets are a little smaller in size than the ones I used for the 80's series):

Also here, some samples of the ring binder's interior:


I started off taking the 2003 Astro screenshots in middle of July last year, so the whole project took about 3/4 of a year to conclude. I guess the work on the 1980's compilation did take just as long.
For the print-outs I used a Canon Pixma MP500 inkjet printer, and the screenshots themselves were printed on glossy inkjet sheets. For cutting out I used a DIN A4 slitter winder. I was glad of having some music for distraction while I was occupied with pasting the screenshots in, the work ended up to be pretty static.

Now I don't have to use the TV or the PC monitor anymore for viewing some Astro portraits; meaning a less expensive electricity bill.

While I've been at it, I also took some photos of the official soundtrack release of the 80's series:
