My moblog gets 100,000 hits

Wow….I’ve been mobloging for just under 10 months (4 days short) and i just crossed over the 100,000 page hits landmark on my Foneblog site.

I bought my first camera phone, the Sony Ericsson P800, on the 15th June 2003. I used the P800 until the 12th of December 2003 (nearly six months) and in that time took 627 photos. My first post to my moblog was on the 15th June 2003. It was just a shot of the office but it got the ball rolling.

One of the benefits of having Nokia as a client, was that on the 12th of December 2003 my P800 was replaced with a Nokia 6600. Since then (four months), i have taken 718 photos. The photo that finally pushed my moblog to 100,000 hits today (12 April 2003) was actually not one i took myself. It was one i found (and blogged on this site) and was a leaked photo of the N-gage 2.

1345….thats the number of photos i have taken with my two camera phones in 10 months….damn thats a lot photos….out of the 1345 photos i have taken, i have posted 380 of them on my moblog…The camera phone has changed the way i take photos. Yes, i own a 5 MegaPixel camera, and i take a hell of a lot of photos with that as well….but trust me..no where near as many as i have taken with the camera phones…

The biggest impact of the camera phones has been that it has changed the way i walk around in everyday life….every thing i see and experience i now look at as an opportunity to take another photo…i wouldn’t mind betting that i have probably taken more photos in the last 10 months than most professional photographers…..

There have been a number of posts in the blogoshpere the last couple of days that have failed to grasp the whole idea and a few that have shown faith. I for one, along with the other 84 million people who bought camera phones in 2003 (vs only 50 million digital cameras sold for the same period), would tend to say the revolution is not only here, but well and truly over….

Oh yeah…Kodak would probably agree..though they may not like it.. ;)
