Flickr keeps track of how many times your “photostream” (as opposed to individual photos) is viewed. I’ve been heading towards 10K photostream views and was planning on posting a self-congratulatory (but ultimately pointless) note when that happened. Today, though, I happened to see it when it was exactly 9,000 views and just couldn’t resist the opportunity to capture the moment.
Yeah.
After all the winter pictures I’ll leave you with a green, summery image. It was actually taken inside, but Spring is coming. We actually took the bikes out of the basement a week ago Sunday. Then, of course, it snowed that night and the next day and there they sat looking cold and miserable. Arggghhh. Things did improve, though, and Sub-Evil Boy and I biked in both yesterday and today, and it was quite wonderful. Still a bit chilly (esp. with the windchill at bicycle speeds), but we’re moving in the right direction.
Congratulations on the Flickr milestone. I’m a long way off :-)
Hang in there. I think it’s more about patience and months on Flickr than anything else. Also, I think I got a lot of stream views because of my photography for the PRCA (like this, that, and the other). Posts like those brought a number of local views which almost never came with any comments or faves because these folks weren’t on Flickr. So I’ve got some images with nearly 100 views but no comments or faves. It sort of skews my stats, but it’s cool that I’ve been able to help out on those projects, which is a lot more important.
