Another Milestone Notched. More Words Set Free. More Photography Discussed.


 I was deleting a bunch of old posts just now when I happened to check the VSL stats. Looks like we just turned over 33,000,000 pageviews. Mind you, Blogger doesn't record RSS feed pageviews, just people coming directly to the site. 

While some other photo bloggers have been at this longer and have generated more content, I have to remind myself that this is a completely non-profit undertaking; a hobby, and that I have done this while maintaining a full time, profitable business, raising a great kid, doing my share of spousing, writing five successful books about photography, as well as one novel, taking care of two parents and then their estates, and getting in five or six days of swimming every week. It's not a bad track record. At least I don't think it is....

As you can see from the screen shot of today's stats we reached 33,000 viewers just yesterday alone. If only I had monetized this blog I might be rich!!!

Oh wait. I guess the (long, long) journey is the real reward.

Just think what you could achieve if you quit slacking off ....... ;). Finding foster homes for unused mannequins maybe.

That’s impressive! Your writing remains as thought-provoking as ever. Thank you.

John, once you have a certain amount of money everything is just about the journey. There's no map to the ultimate photo which, once achieved means one can stop taking any more. It's a continuous continuum.
