Why?
I refuse to answer the rest of your questions until you can give me one good
reason why you took 550 photographs -- that's equivalent to 30 rolls of film
for Christ's sake. Have you branched out into pornography by any chance? I
can see no other justification for taking 550 photographs. Ever. And don't
tell me you're not aware of the obscenity of taking 550 photos of
anything -- that's equivalent to 550,000 words -- when you yourself wrote:

How does one distribute such large amounts of photos? Ask Kara's
Playground, not me.

Are you kidding? This is a God send. Pictures are taken of everything
within our POV from birth until age 35. At age 35 we get to sit back for
the next 35 years and watch everything we had witnessed over the previous 35
years. At age 70, we die (ususally from boredom). It's just a natural
extention of reality TV. Please don't stand in the way of progress.
