haha you're just begging for controversy aren't you?

Nah, I was doing a little experiment. For some reason my posts will get regular comments by everyone and everything is well and good, but every time I put up pictures for people to look at, ya know, my hobby, job, passion, major.... there isn't one solitary comment to be had.

Also, I though that was a pretty funny article. Especially the part about porn sales on sunday dropping 1% and then jumping back up on monday.

Well, for me, I don't feel like I have a technical knowledge to say anything in the way of constructive criticism, and I don't want to continually type "Great shots," which they are.

Excellent comment, Nathan.

I definitely was dubious of the connection, but I hadn't thought of other theories like that. Although I do have to say, I think there is a higher correlation of people who banned gay marriage to those who are religious. Sure there are people who aren't religious who think it is between a man and a woman (and people who are religious, who think it should be a legal right) but I think the general trend remains.

Great perspective on the photo posts Nathan from both you and Andrew, I'll definitely "construct" my photography posts to be more objective for people who don't know photography.

Thanks guys.

As for the article, no part of me was seriously about to believe the whole think I recognize that the information doesn't really say much about WHO is actually buying... just thought it was funny and a little more light hearted than things related to our current political and economic climate.

Also, this experiment worked in that I really just wanted to see that people were looking at the photos, I don't really care about comments, I more or less just want the satisfaction that I get in sharing my work with other people. And I'm sure you can relate to that Nathan - can't wait to read your book!
