August 8, 2004: Taking Stock

Today:

(click here to enlarge today’s image)

One hundred days of solitude. One hundred images of exile. One hundred pages of an exile’s journal.

Four months. Three images of Barney. Three images of Murphy. Two useless self-portraits. 12 fruit festering. Now nine round things. Eight clocks, the earliest 9:11, the latest, 11:56. One official rant. Words: 61,134. Great big secret: 1.

19 favorites on photoblogs. Ranked 24 on Clix. Ranked 56 among Photoblog’s Newcomers. 124 Comments. For “SnappedShots”, a Google rank of 1. For “Snapped Shots”, a Google rank of 33. Best of all, for “my sweet jellybean”, a Google rank of 1. Average daily unique visitors in May: 22.1. Average daily unique visitors in August: 52.1. A few friends. Thank you for your support, Bob, Ninds, kia, lynn, hmm, Gwen. It means a lot.

Elsewhere, three guest posts.

A handful of crackpots. Seven deleted comments for enlarging your penis. One most serious bout of diarrhea. Consumed: one bottle of Pepto Bismol, 700 cups of coffee. Smoked: 1500 cigarettes. Notated: 11 dreams.

One hundred images. One camera. Zero new cameras. I’m still saving. Zero death threats. Zero lovers.

Meanwhile, I’m still here. One man. One camera. One compulsion. Thank you for stopping by.

Silas…

A brief message as I’m about to get kicked off the internet way on the other side of the pond.

Congrats! Make some speculoos to celebrate ;) You’ve inspired me for more macros, more subtle colors, more food pictures than you can imagine. I’m looking forward to the next 100 :)

Thank YOU for all your support, emails, travel stories and the wonderful post on Marmalade Chainsaw. It means a lot to me too :)

I agree. The mosaic is gorgeous. I love that the little pictures are ones you’ve used previously on snappedshots.

Congratulations on your first hundred days.

Be sure to see my site today, my good friend… you’ve been there for me no matter what —- I’m extrordinarily happy we found one another — I look forward to a long life of correspondence and sharing of mind matter…

Now, fork over the cool photos of Murph! (and a few more of the infamous eggs in a coffee cup wouldn’t hurt, either!)…

Keep up the great work! (and tell me how you did the mosaic — simply beautiful…)

Your friend,

bob
