The portfolios also differ in release strategy. The release portfolios are the added images as of an issue date and the image members will not be modified following that date. However the "artist" may "make adjustments" to the images if needed. The number of images in each release portfolio will be limited to the amount that can be reasonable downloaded and viewed as a group of thumbnails. This amount is very dependent on available communication and display technology. Currently each release is about six or seven images.

This approach to portfolios should benefit both the first time visitor and the repeat visitor. The first time visitor can view a release portfolio to start. This will provide an introduction to Jim's work. Then follow with viewing location portfolios for locations of interest or other release portfolios. The repeat visitor can view the more recent release portfolios then revisit or explore as desired.

The visiter has many viewing routing options. The visitor can pivot from a release portfolio to a location portfolio and back. Also the visitor can view a portfolio by clicking on the thumbnail on its thumbnail page or by forward links of either location or release portfolios on the image pages.
