“Jim and I trekked through the mushy woods, he casually dressed (no one ever accused him of being a fashion plate) and me in a so-90s light blue suit. Teal, even, if I’m being honest. Hurrying to the scene, we barely said a word. We both took pictures of the downed plane (a two-seater, as I recall, and no one seriously injured) and set out to nab the sheriff’s deputy who was on the scene to answer a few questions. Jim asked his, I asked mine. The deputy asked us to withhold the name of one of the passengers for a reason I forget, but a good one. Jim agreed on his part, and pointed to me – ‘but you’d better ask Don Johnson here.’”

Since Flickr rolled out its Stats tab, my point-‘n’-shoot picture of Viggo Mortensen has been the undisputed No. 1 picture. That’s all about to change.

A picture of musician Ingrid Michaelson rocking a side pony as a joke was picked up by Yahoo! image search and has helped the picture shoot up the all-time list, despite the fact it was taken a good 18 months after the Viggo picture.

People have lost interest in my point-‘n’-shoot of Brady Quinn, which was also once very popular. Because let’s be honest, it’s a terrible photograph.

A funny story I always tell about #4. My friend Rob openly questioned why I’d want to take a picture of the outside of a hockey arena. I was intrigued by what I saw and I wanted to document it. Apparently others find it compelling too. (For full disclosure, I should mention I put it in a Flick pool of NHL Arenas, which undoubtedly helped.)

My shot of Ryan Miller, in which you can’t even see the puck, is a consistent hit-grabber long after the Ice Bowl. (It’s also in a Flickr pool of NHL Winter Classic pictures.)

Pictures #6 and #8 are screenshots from TV and were featured on the Uniwatch blog.

I have no clue why picture #7 of the Padres bench is so intriguing to people, especially because I’ve been able to ID only two of the eight players sitting on the bench.

A second picture of Viggo Mortensen, which is not available on Yahoo! image search like its counterpart from the same event, is my ninth most viewed picture.

(Not shown: #10 is this crappy picture of Jeff Samardzija, which was from the same walk through as Brady Quinn.)
