Ed Ho: Sticker Photographer.

Flickr launched their wonderful stats feature which displays information about search engine referrals to your photos. The top queries coming to my photos isn’t anything about my former employer or any of those silly web-two-dot-oh events. Instead it’s “guitar hero stickers”. Often it’s searches for “guitar hero 2 stickers”. Now this can happen for a variety of reasons, the main one being that most of my photos just get lost as more definitive depictions of “food” and “car” are returned by Google Image Search. Nevertheless, it still surprises me that people are even searching for pictures of the sticker sheet that came with a game that is a year old. It’s almost as surprising as finding out that I even had photos of that sticker sheet. Why on earth would I take pictures of stickers and post them online?

Seriously, my photos are the #1 & #2 results on Google Image Search for “guitar hero stickers”  ??
