Lives of Photographs, 44

My Flickr photostream has hit 20,000 views today – thanks to everyone who's ever visited! My most popular photo, for some reason, is this one of Sydney Harbour Bridge (currently 5,563 views). I say "for some reason" because it's not an especially brilliant image, so I really don't know why it consistently gets around twenty hits every single day: Google and Yahoo searches bring in just two or three, but the rest come from the mysterious 'direct traffic'. I hope someone's not making money off this, because I'm certainly not.
I'd say 20,000 is respectable enough for 760 photos, though I've found the male/female dynamic on Flickr to be something akin to a singles bar. If I was an attractive female taking good photos or self portraits I'd have double the views and three times the comments; similarly, if I posted pr0n I'd probably have hit 100,000 views by now...
