800...3,000...60,000

Nice, Even Numbers...So What? So Irrelevant!

The screen capture above shows a couple of things. In
red, it says my photos have been viewed 60,000+ times in the last 11 months that I've been putting my photos on Flickr. Of course, that could mean 60,000 folks stopped by for a look and left right away. I prefer to think a few visited and stayed to take a bit more of a look around my gallery.

The first photo of the airplane coming out from behind a building has been of interest to me if no one else. This week in
Los Angeles, the new world's largest civilian aircraft flew into LAX. The Airbus A380 has two decks and is pretty damn big.

The photo has been the most viewed of the photos I posted of it landing and departing the next day. As of today, four days after its landing, that photo has been viewed almost
800 times. It was viewed 600 times in the first 48 hours. The photos in the series have been viewed a combined 3,000 times starting Monday about 2 pm.

Nice numbers, I guess, and it's nice to have folks looking at my photos even if these aren't all that artistic though a few are creative enough.

Makes me wonder if I should post the only photo I've really been holding back and have never really published. It's called Suicide Tide. It did appear only once along with two of my other photos at an exhibition (no big deal, all could submit photos for inclusion) at an art museum in Switzerland a few weeks ago.

But all these nice even numbers don't mean a thing when compared to little Mia and her daily war against death...the subject of the next entry.
