Yeah the Madison Square Park piece is pretty nice! It is surprisingly disorienting to look at since that sort of spatial distortion is so completely associated with 2d pictures.And thank you about the crossing photo! I was really into the way that woman was holding the camera. When I got the photos back I was pretty surprised at how posed everyone looked to me.

I must admit I used to be quite addicted to the Flickr stats page - I'd like the photostream as a whole to get 100+ hits each day. If the graph dropped down to low double figures and I didn't have anything new to share I'd usually freshen things up a bit by blogging an old picture or uploading something random from the archives. (When I've just uploaded a load of kids' party pics and sent out Guest Passes, the hit count goes through the roof).
Well, now, it doesn't seem like I have to do anything to get those 100+ hits - mostly due to "unknown source" referrals. Not entirely what they are - ppl blogging my pictures? Accessing them via a phone app? Stuff like Tumblr does actually show up, so it's not necessarily that. 70% of all my traffic on a quiet day (no new content for a while) comes from these unknown sources. Any ideas?

I don't publicise my flickr acct much or do much tagging so when I get comments it's always kind of amazing to me. This one dude even wrote an entire POEM abt one of my pictures. That's what he does, apparently, leaves poems on pictures that 'inspire' him.
Another guy complimented my photo album full of Arshavin photoshops: "I love this series of shrugging Arshavin"

From what I've read, unknown source hits can include blogs etc. that block referral data, but also from direct hits, like from a bookmark or an email etc. I also wonder if sites like flickriver have something to do with it.
― lou reed scott walker monks niagra (chinavision!), Wednesday, 8 June 2011 16:02 (twelve years ago) link
Hmmm. I was curious because, on quiet days when I've not uploaded anything new for a while and there's no compelling reason for friends to be ploughing through my photos, instead of a total daily hit-count of around 60 (search engine hits for stuff within and without Flickr, usually), I now get a hit-count of around 150 and it's overwhelmingly "unknown source" making up the difference.
For example, yesterday (having not uploaded anything since Jun 2):136 views - 41 within Flickr, 20 Google/Yahoo image search, 1 Facebook, 1 ohdeedoh, 73 unknown source.
Occasionally, I'll get a big spike on one image - 55 views in a day, all unknown source.

I'm still very pleased with the lower-contrast look I can get with the new lens and scanner. This is around Bowling Green after work the other day.

I like that a lot Millsner, especially the composition and the detail of the bed. If there were one small thing it's that the top right is a little too bright at the expense of the left, but I love how you can still see the hand on the foot, which - for me- is the punctum. It's lovely.

Lovely.
This could be the start of something. Feeling entirely uninspired on Wednesday (I only had the 40D with me cos I was supposed to shoot a portrait at work), I decided to shoot from ground level around Soho. So, #1: walls. Wish I'd shot at f/11 or something as the shallow DoF doesn't do this sort of thing any favours. Collage in Picasa...
