I wonder why Leon M doesn''t include more views to his pictures?

I am expanding my "wish list folder" of rings for my custom job and I notice most internet sites show about 4-5 views of each ring. I notice Leon has only 1, maybe 2 views of each ring. With his intricate work, I am surprised he doesn''t do at least a top, bottom, long side, and short side view. There have actually been a few times I have seen a view on his site and while I thought it was pretty, I didn''t think too much of the ring but then someone else who owned the ring posted it on pricescope with side/top/bottom views and it was gorgeous.

Has anyone interested in some of his work ever emailed/called him to ask for more views of specific rings before buying? There is one I am really interested in (r319) and it talks about how there is no gallery, just an open culet, but no picture! If I called, I would ask for more views on about 100 of his items - don''t think he would appreciate it.
 
he probably doesnt want people copying (or attempting to copy) his designs.................

I agree...he also isn''t big on copying period. I get the feeling that he''d rather make 100 different rings for 100 different clients rather than make the same one over and over ya know?
 
According to his website, he also charges clients now for the pictures, so I suspect most people simply aren''t paying for them. Not sure if he has the settings photographed anyway to post online but that isn''t what it sounds like from how I read it.
 
I asked once for more views but he said he didn''t have the time to search his computer as he has thousands of pics. So save yourself the aggravation, don''t bother asking!
