A Look Back - Top Ten

Here's a look back over the past 11 months at the top 10 posts, to date.  Thanks!

  • #1 ~ Photo Booth Rig - The 'in detail' demonstration of a really cool photo booth where people can make images of themselves, and get a print, in under a minute!

  • #2 ~ Nikon D3 Spotted in the Wild - The photos of a D3 being used on assignment. This was post skyrocketed to this position because of several link-ins from other sites.

  • #3 ~ The Conundrum of Doing Nothing - This post, in such a short period of time saw a grassroots spike in readers. The bottom line - doing nothing can be very profitable!

  • #4 ~ A Must Watch - Do You See Yourself? - I'd like to thank YouTube for this post's success. It's clearly resonated with people when you see a writer talk about the importance of getting paid.

  • #5 ~ Don't Really Make Photos - This is only a test - Apparently the rest of you also thought it absolutely hilarious that a newspaper would require all it's freelancers to bring in every piece of equipment they own, and to be tested on their abilities!

  • #6 ~ US Presswire - Introduction - Many of you apparently 'saw the light' and spread the word about this in-depth piece on how bad shooting spec, especially of sports, is for you. It wasn't without it's detractors, of course..

  • #7 Anatomy of an Assignment: 3 Minutes and Counting - This post will always hold a special place for me, as it was the basis for the AssignmentConstruct site.

  • #8 From The 'Are You Kidding Me' Department - It's remarkable that two posts about the downside of spec sports shooting makes it into the top 10 list. I presume it's a combination of SportsShooter referrals as well as the large number of people shooting sports.

  • #9 The Marketplace is now open - A piece on Digital Railroad's (then) new Marketplace service for stock licensing made headlines, and the top ten.

  • #10 The Art of the Retoucher - This was a very early post, about how amazing retouchers work, and links to some of their samples.
