Laughs, snorts, giggles, smirks score: 6/10<br /><br />That gives, well, counting isn't my thing, but it should be on the positive side.<br /><br />I like your writing AND your photos. There are lots of sites where you can learn things, and usually these are rather boring. There are also lots of stunning galleries, but then you usually don't get the story behind those marvellous photos.<br /><br />Your blog is written by you and reflect who you are. Those who don't like it don't visit you. As in real life. And - I have written this recently elsewhere, don't remember where - wouldn't it be stressful to have hundreds of comments on whatever you publish? Like, "awesome, dude"? When I arrive to such a blog, I usually never comment because I think that who would care for what I have to say in this cacophony of comments.<br /><br />I like your blog, it is as you write, warm and welcoming.Ovehttp://www.ovepove.senoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2324667356995067944.post-63807500250534874702009-09-16T06:11:04.949-07:002009-09-16T06:11:04.949-07:00Andreas - As I was reading your wonderfully though...Andreas - As I was reading your wonderfully thoughtful an d intelligent thoughts above, I was reminded why I started blogging to begin with. There are so many social sites springing up these days with facebook, myspace, twitter ... and literally endless others. The interchange, however, is generally at a light and social level. Blogging affords opportunity to exchange and thoughtfully consider challenging new ideas or at least to revisit ideas from fresh perspectives. For me, that is reward enough. Thanks for taking the time to write such an insightful response! It is very encouraging to all of us bloggers.

Paul Lester...Well, it all depends on why you do it. Paul Lester recently had a post <a href="http://www.paullesterphoto.com/wordpress/2009/09/08/remarkably-consistent/" rel="nofollow">about growth</a>. From my own experience and from his I suppose that photoblogs like ours get visitors in the low hundreds. You can try to please the newcomers, make it all very interactive, make contests like Brian Auer does on <a href="http://blog.epicedits.com/" rel="nofollow">EpicEdits</a>, and then you may get into the thousands. When you want more, you need to provide free content (tutorials or such things) and best of all post gear reviews while the gear is still new. Thus a review of the Leica S2 would be appropriate at the moment :)<br /><br />Or else you don't do it for numbers, you just do it. It goes up, it goes down, if you really feel like needing numbers you can always post a crowd pleaser, and in general you simply do it for yourself. If you don't do it for yourself at least partially, it is doomed anyway.Andreashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15992874945092411553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2324667356995067944.post-20828840815606474202009-09-15T15:13:21.081-07:002009-09-15T15:13:21.081-07:00Full details of textures and color.
