This is blog post 1001

This is blog post number 1001!  And, it's coincided with passing 100,000 page views on HelloKen.com.

In the grand scheme of the internet, it's a fart in the wind.  But, it's a big deal to me.

I've worked hard on getting to be a better photographer, writer, and creating content.  I've had visitors from the other side of the globe that have found my blog.  It's been a companion to the content I've created for Facebook and Twitter.  And, it's given me purpose outside of my job to learn new things.  I started at zero four years ago.  Now, this site has over 3,000 page views per month and growing.  That's a lot of people who read what I write and look at my photos.

The primary reason I created this website was to display the photos that I take.  That is still it's primary purpose, but it also has been telling a little bit of my life story.  In the process, I've gotten better at photography and better at writing.

Thank you for visiting, reading, and looking.  Here's hoping that by blog post #2000 I'm twice as good at this as I am now.

Since I usually include some sort of photo with most blog posts, here's a photo of a co-worker's vehicle at work with the back window broken.  It has nothing to do with the subject of this post, I just thought it needed a photo.

Reminds me of the Annie Lennox song "Walking On Broken Glass"
