A Small Milestone

This is the 800th post of my blog since I moved from LiveJournal to Blogger in June of 2009.  I would never have thought that I could get this far.  This blog gets about 800 page views per day on average, and most readers arrive here by search engines, but there are quite a few returning visitors, and for those, as well as my followers, which now at 89, I thank you.

This blog serves as my photography companion that pushes me to try harder, take more pictures, and share useful information with anyone on older lenses.  It is also a gateway for my passion of photography, a place where I can temporarily immerse myself in, and relax.  Kind of like a cheap shrink, if you will.

In June of next month, it will mark the 4th anniversary of this blog, but I am sure I will forget about it, as I did every previous year.  It's simply not important to me.

Thank you for reading.  I do hope you will find at least some useful information within the 800 posts so far.  I appreciate all the comments, critics, and suggestions that you have done left on my posts or emailed to me.  I hope I can keep this going for another four years.

    Congratulations and thank you for all your work. It's inspirational. :)

    Btw, google reader says there are 121 subscribers to your RSS feed, I'm not sure how accurate this number is...

    Congratulations, too!
    800 hits per day shows quite a large fanbase :-)
    That takes me two weeks. But since you post beautiful, interesting shots everyday, that is simply justice.

      Thanks Crix. The longer your posts exists on the net, the more hits you will get, though that's not really that important to me.

    Congrats! I agree with the sentiments above. The very wide variety of unusual lenses you blog about would greatly help the amount of searches that land on your blog. However, its the on going interesting posts that make people come back.

      I was frustrated when the items I was searching for resulted in no useful information and I made a note to myself that if I would share what I know, hence the blog.

    Congratulations! I always visit your site to look at the photos and note the lenses you used to take the photos. Your old lenses reviews (including your fun and aches using the lenses) are really helpful to understand the character of each lens when used on a particular cam body. And best of all reviews come with real world photos as examples!!!

    Hope to see more.
