My Webshots Photo Views

For some reason my cruise night photos are more popular on Webshots than Flickr. On Flickr my Yuma Proving Ground photo set is the most popular at the moment.

Today the Claremont Cruise Night photo set on Webshots has had a total of 1,326 views with the Denny's Cruise Night in nearby Upland, CA getting 1,253 views. The Yuma Proving Ground set has only 167 views. Simply California which is popular but not as popular as old cars and tanks got a total of 108 views. The Claremont Fireworks comes in dead last at 92 views behind New Orleans Music at 410 views. The New Orleans Music photo set is of Yolanda Creole Woman and her band appearing at the Claremont Summer Concert Series. I am surprised that Yolanda is more viewed than the Yuma Proving Ground set on Webshots as the Yuma Proving Ground set is by far the most viewed on Flickr.

Claremont Cruise Night - Sept 2009

The September 2009 Claremont Cruise Night photos have been posted to Flickr.

The second highest viewed photo in my Flickr photo stream is the M247 Sgt. York Division Air Defense (DIVAD) Gun. Both of my highest viewed photos are from the Yuma Proving Ground photo set.

It appears this tank (M551 Sheridan) is highly popular for reasons that are a mystery to me.



Denny's Cruise Night - Upland CA

Contrary to the statements on some websites covering Denny's Cruise Night in Upland, California; the last Cruise Night was not last night. There will be a Denny's Cruise Night on the second Friday Night of October and November.

Typically no one asks me any questions when I photograph cars; but I got asked several times if my photos were going to be published on the internet. My answer was yes on Flickr and other places. To the question as to the web address I said ronald_hodgman on Flickr. After several questions on web address I stated do a Goggle search as I figured the Flickr photos would quickly show up in a Google search which turned out to be an accurate prediction. Believe it or not; typically I have no way of knowing a web address in advance of the photo being published.

I figured lovers of the classic Ford Thunderbird would quickly ask for my Thunderbird photos to be added to their Flickr group. It is amazing how quickly Thunderbird lovers detect new photos of that classic Ford car posted to Flickr.

Lots of classic Fords and Chevys were present last night with a few oddball non-Fords and Chevys.

Claremont Summer Series Over

Between my photos of Yuma Proving Ground and "The Answer" concert in Memorial Park; I had my highest view day on Flickr ever.

Summer is over as yesterday was Labor Day. Also it was the last summer concert of the Claremont, CA 2009 summer season. As usual "The Answer" gave a great show.
