Happy 100,000th
Yeeahah – just noticed I’ve had 101,803 views of my work since I joined RB in October 2007. I have also been fortunate enough to sell 48 items on RB in that time – something I never dreamed would happen when I first joined this brilliant community.
The internet still blows my mind. Prior to its invention how many artists in their lifetime would have 100,000 views of their work? And yet here I am, not even a drop in the ocean of landscape photography getting this many views in only 19 months. And that’s just on RB. On Flickr I’ve had over 300,000 but I’ve been on it longer. God bless the internet I say!!
So I’d just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has taken the time to either look at, comment on, or buy one of the 99 pics I’ve posted in that time. Actually the following 6 pics account for nearly half my total views.
My most popular pic for views to date with 18,137 views has been Ianus Semitas
followed by The Thrall with 11,978 views and 169 favourites
and Sunset Cascade with 6,089 views and 213 favourites
and Radiance with 3,534 views and 119 favourites
and In the Beginning with 3,247 views and 144 favourites
and Raging Stillness with 3,148 views and 132 favourites
So again, thank you in particular to those people who take the time to write thoughtful, generous comments on my pics – getting the odd sale certainly gives you a frisson of pleasure but it is people’s comments that are the real currency of value here at RB I think.
Best wishes
Geoff

Geoff Coleman... replied
So glad you feel better lol – I told you I’m temporally challenged!! congrats on your 70K – why the sad face – that’s a smiley face!! Yeah I think the 18,137 is a bit suss myself particularly as the faves are low but, hey that’s what the counter says so I’m not arguing.
