This is kinda freaking me out...


A post in my flickr photostream, "Cranking down on the Grey Set", is accumulating views, comments, and faves(!!!), and rising up the Explore rating thingy. It is currently my #3 on the "Popular" rating in my stream.

What is really weirding me out is, I didn't think it was that good! It was just a pretty lame attempt to get something from what was a pretty crappy sunset. Maybe the Magic Donkey got drunk and the the dart went awry or something. I mean, I know my stuff is not exactly greeting card material, and I don't know if I would want it hanging on on my own wall.

I just don't know. So confused.

  2. I love it, Todd. Funny how sometimes other people see us better than we see ourselves. Well deserved..in my book. And I would hang your stuff on my wall any day of the week.

  3. yeah, explore is so odd. they tweak the algorithm all the time, which makes it behave even more erratically, i think. but still, sometimes it spots good stuff (like here!).

  5. Much deserved IMO. Much more than some gull sitting on a rooftop at sunrise. The photo is really dramatic looking, and not your typical sunset with bright colors. It's unique, and it show your photographic talent along with all the trimmings. Bask in the light and enjoy...

  6. But I like that gull on the roof shot! Okay, okay, I get it.

    I feel a little better now; it's falling down the charts...

  7. ...but that gull on the rooftop took very little "skill" in capturing, which makes me feel a little guilty about receiving the accolades, but I guess that's OK. It's a lucky shot that people liked, and I'm happy...
