Today I worked on a python program to create a graph of the views of all my photos in my 365 Project set. Here’s the result:  (click for full size)

I was curious how they stacked up and I wanted to see if I could detect any patterns.  Except for a few outliers, they’re mostly below 50 views per photo.  I also expected to see more views after I started adding my photos to more 365 photo groups, but this is not the case.  There do appear to be clusters of views.  In other words, one highly viewed photo seemed to lift the ones by it.  That one huge outlier is my photo making fun of causes of the swine flu. The other big one is my Heroin Chic photo, no surprises there.  It was fun to create this and I learned a new python module.  Also, even though it probably took me a bit more time to program than to do it manually, it will now automatically generate whenever I want, and that’s worth the time it took.

I was looking at my flickr 20 most interesting photos and I realized that a healthy portion of them were taken this year.  Six of the top 20, in fact, were taken in 2009.  Here they are:

This photos is my most viewed photo on flickr and today it reached 10,000 views!  The pace of views has been insanely quick.  (for one of my photos)   It only had 5,000 views 18 months ago and ever since then I’ve been wondering when it would reach 10,000 views.  Now the next milestone on the flickr views groups is 25,000 views.  It’ll probably take a while to get there.  I know there are some who get 25,000 views in one day, but I’m not one of those, so this is pretty exciting for me.  10,000 pairs of eyeballs have seen this photo and that’s awesome.

The conclusion catching us up on my 1 A Day set(not including Project 365 photos).

More photos from my 1 A Day Set.

More of the photos I’ve neglected to post from my 1 A Day set.

It’s been a really long time since I did this.  Here are some of the non-Project 365 related photos since then.

A mixture of the old and the new.

Things have changed a bit since last time, so I decided to once again cover what flickr thinks my 20 most interesting photos are.

A while back I unveiled a web utility for telling when it was time to move a photo from one flickr views group to another.  It got tons of hits.  Then I switched my server and it all stopped working.  Beej had gone to a new framework for traversing the XML and had some problems porting it over.  Finally got everything fixed up over the weekend and I can come out with version 0.3!
