I applied to four companies this past week. This more than doubles the number I’d already applied to. It this exponential trend continues as I expect, I will be applying to 485 jobs per week in less than a month.
On the topic of increasing numbers, the Flytown picture I put up in my last post got 92 views on Flickr, doubling or tripling the number of views I’ve gotten on on recent popular pictures.
That “# views” note at the bottom of every picture is an interesting example of training (one could more innocently say helping) photographers to find out what works to create a really good picture. Obviously this shows what most people like and what is most instantly visually pleasing since a view is when somebody clicks through from a thumbnail amongst many other pictures. I think that the photographer needs to keep in mind what they want too. Woody Allen once said “When I put out a film that enjoys any acceptance that isn’t the most mild or grudging I immediately become suspicious of it.”
In other news I watched Serenity twice yesterday (the second time with Joss Whedon’s comments). That’s about the level of excitement that yesterday held as I wasn’t really motivated to get much done. I did have a shot of Bailey’s in honor of St. Patrick, though. And in honor of my tastebuds.
Oh, and I’ve been doing this blog for a month now. I don’t know how that happened.
