Mission accomplished - half a million

I have always enjoyed stretching for goals in life and last summer I set myself the target of having half a million views of my images on Purpleport before my 70th birthday. I am pleased to record that this was achieved last week whilst I was on holiday and reached with three weeks to spare. Now actually in the 11 years I have subscribed to Purpleport I have had many more views than that but in the past when after a while I used to delete the old images the view count of course went with them.  

 

So what is left? : well I have another seven shoots booked to the autumn but after that I think retirement may well loom, but you never know ;-)

Thanks to all the models I have worked with and to those who have found my images of interest: I hope you enjoyed the journey I embarked on.

That is amazing, and I would never have guessed you were that old :-p

Thanks Martin but if I do retire I might need to raid your library again: a man has to do something in his spare time.

Thanks Lee : it just takes a bit of planning (and a good bank balance) !

Thanks Russ : Retiring from work at 60 helps

Thank you Martin. I suspect that your count is way higher, certainly if all the deleted shots are included. If I do retire from this crazy hobby I will need to find something to do, is some more of your library still looking for an alternative home? , lol.

Thank you: I only realised there was a cumulative tally about two years ago as I tended to concentrate on the individual image views.
