Hi Andrew, Thanks for making this suggestion for the WPPD site. It has not been brought up before. I've posted your message to the Pinhole Visions Forum on Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day topics. It is at: http://www.???????/forum/. The forum is a great place to discuss suggestions, plans and anything related to the Big Tiny Aperture event on April 27. I'll post my thoughts there, too.
I'm not a web programmer, but I think generally the counters are attached to what, for lack of a better term, I'll call statically defined pages. I'm pretty sure (and our webmaster, Gregg Kemp, will correct me if I'm wrong) that the WPPD gallery pages are all dynamically generated. The thumbnail pages are generated based on the query criteria entered, like country, city, artist name, group, etc. I believe the individual image pages are also dymanically generated. This might make it difficult to attach a counter to an individual image. Probably more important is the egalitarian nature of the WPPD exhibit. It is a place where all are equal. I'd be concerned that any counters attached to an image might give an impression that the number of winners on the site is less than the total number of participants. I'm getting excited about April 27, too. My daughter (age 6) and I built identical tin cameras. We used refrigerator magnet stock for shutters. We decorated the shutters with colored markers so we could tell our cameras apart. Somehow she was able to fit the entire Wizard of Oz movie onto a 1.5 by 2 inch magnet!

For the organizers of the next WWPD #3 gallery I have a suggestion; (if not already made) to include a 'hit count' for each pinhole image page. Is this easily done and possible? It would be fun and great for the ego to see how many visiters each image in getting. I've started to get excited for April 27th, 2003!
