Sex sells photos

About a week ago I attended the 2009 Summer Solstice Parade in Fremont, WA to take photos with the Seattle Flickrites. In case you don't know, the main attraction of the parade are the naked bicyclists that join the parade every year with their colorful painted bodies as a way to display their joy for freedom, and openness.

I took 500+ pictures and spent 2 days reviewing what to post, what not to post. I ended up posting close to 100 pictures (yeah, I know), because it was so much fun!

But the most interesting fact was the stats on my Flickr account:

1,471 views in the first 24 hours!!!

Sadly, the number of fav'ed photos and comments wasn't as favorable, but I can understand. Nobody wants you to know that they were looking at pictures of naked people -sigh-.

So I told my wife: "honey, from now on I am only photographing naked people."

Peace :-)
