A student shows off her work to the judges in the 2010 UMM Fashion Trashion show<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nFriday was the second annual Fashion Trashion show<\/a>, where a number of UMM’<\/a>s Studio Art students grace the runway modeling outfits they’ve constructed primarily from recycled, reclaimed, and re-used materials. Jess Larson<\/a> was kind enough to ask me to take pictures again (I shot the first show last year<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I did indeed take a bunch of photos, and posted just over 600 of the least blurry of them on Flickr yesterday<\/a>. This is no big deal – I do lots of events and post piles of photos like this all the time.<\/p>\n

Except this time the view count just went totally<\/em> through the roof. My events account typically gets a few hundred views a day, with small spikes when I post a new set. 1,000 views, though, would be a big<\/em> day for that account.<\/p>\n

I’ve had over 5,000 views today<\/strong>, the vast majority of which have been on the Fashion Trashion photos.

A bit of a spike in views, eh?<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

I’m quite thoroughly gobsmacked, and not entirely sure where all the traffic is coming from. I’m thinking a lot<\/em> of it is via Twitter<\/a>, but it’s not really clear. <\/p>\n

I suspect that the total lifetime views of my photographs pre-digital\/Flickr might have been than 5,000, so to have 5,000 views of my work in one day is pretty amazing. I’m most grateful for the attention – thanks!<\/p>\n

Flickr’s “day” just rolled over, and we peaked at 5,600 views for the 24 hour period. I’ve probably never seen anything close to that, and may never again. Crazy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t
