en bra fotograf!

ego surfing v. To search the internet for references to oneself. See also - narcissism, conceit, vanity. Since I get quite a few visitors to my website, about 1,000 a day of late, I'm curious to see where they're all coming from and how they find me. Also, it's flimsy excuse to do a bit of ego surfing. Anyway, according to my web logs, I've had visitors from at least 93 countries in the last ten months (see bottom of page for full list), including a couple I'd never heard of. (Kyrgyz Republic anyone?) 1,331 Belgians visited me this month alone. And although I don't expect to get hired for any fashion shoots in Moldovia, it's nice that I'm being appreciated there - wherever it is. Deze site brengt een portfolio dat misschien omstreden genoemd kan worden. Maar foto's op zich doen niets verkeerd, zij beelden de realiteit af, zelfs als die realiteit een naakt lichaam is. De maker van de foto's is Patrick Roddie, een autodidact uit Belfast. Je kan je vragen stellen bij het feit dat hij graag foto's neemt van halfnaakte jongeren, maar op zich is daar niets verkeerd aan, zelfs als op die foto's genitalia zouden staan - die horen nu eenmaal tot een lichaam, net zoals een duim, een oor, een hoofd, tot een lichaam behoren. The previous quote is from a Belgian version of the venerable Netsurfer Digest who mentioned me twice, bless them. My Belgian's a bit rusty, but I've a good idea what "halfnaakte jongeren" means . . . Because I shoot so many Burning Man pictures, it's natural that I get plenty of visitors from the official BM site. I get a lot of hits from Google, although my Google ranking has slipped from first place to ninth in my category. Speaking of Google, it's a great way to ego surf. I typed in my name and found it mentioned here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and also here.
