Photos at the 'Corner
Photos at the 'Corner
I happened to notice that the 8,000th photo was just posted on the Collectors Corner website. I thought I'd do a little tablecloth math and see who has posted the most and by what percentage.
1st Place:
This goes to Phillip Riviere, who unfortunately passed away a year ago this November. He posted 4,413 photos during his time on the 'Corner, or 55.2% of the total.
2nd Place:
This honor goes to Scott Shier, one of the first to join the 'Corner (so long ago). He has posted 959 pictures so far. This represents 12.0% of the photos posted to date.
3rd Place:
I get the bronze for my 806 photos posted. My photos represent 10.1% of the total at the 'Corner.
4th Place:
The last person I'm listing here is Abramo Russo. He has 749 photos posted for 9.4% of the total. His last posted photo was on May, 30, 2017 when he stopped posting abruptly. I hope he is okay but I fear the worst.
This leaves 1,073 photos posted by all the other members, or 13.4%. (Note: Percentages don't add up to 100.0% due to rounding.

I wrote this original post a little over two years ago (pre-pandemic). At the time, there were 8,000 photographs posted at the 'Corner. Today there are over 10,000 (10,002 to be exact). The count now stands at:
Phil: 4,413 - 44.1% (down from 55.2%)
Scott: 2,172 - 21.7% (up from 12%)
Tom: 1,396 - 14.0% (up from 10.1%)
Abramo: 749 - 7.5% (down from 9.4%)
The Field: 1,272 - 12.7% (down from 13.4%)

Not really catching up, you're pulling ahead in numbers and percentages.

No, each member's photo count is on their "My Page". There is a slideshow of the member's photos on the page. If you click on "Show All", their photos will display along with a count.
