As 2010 comes to an end I find myself thinking about the next year, an exciting (hopefully) year for me that sees me developing more as a photographer and shooting more than I did this year.
I like to shoot live music events when I get the chance and I love Burlesque and shooting Burlesque shows and I ended the year shooting 2 burlesque shows in the space of a week and a concert by Brighton Folk Punk band The Levellers the week prior to these shows.
Anyway, I regularly check my stats on my flickr stream to see what images of mine get looked at and where the referrals come from. On average I get between 50 and 250 hits a day (looking mostly at pics of sexy women!)
With the release of the Cher/Christina movie BURLESQUE , I have found myself getting more views on my burlesque pics with google stats showing people searching for burlesque. However, someone, somewhere, must have blogged or tweeted about one of my pics as I had over 2000 views on the 19th December on my flickr stream , the most I have ever had in one day.
So I end this year with a smile, knowing that someone, somewhere is looking at, and hopefully enjoying my images. Thank you to whoever blogged/tweeted about me on the 19th, and thank you to the people who made it possible for me to shoot these shows.
I hope to bring more of these kind of images to you in 2011.
