If you look at the Leica M9 photos generating the most buzz on Flickr at the moment, you will see that futureancient is dominating the field. In fact, right now he practically owns the “Most Famous M9 Photos” banner in the header on this page.
Aside from using a Leica M9 camera (;-)), why is this? Better photography? Better networking/social media management? Probably both. Futureancient, aka Matt, tweets when he posts a new photo. This seems to drive enough early interest in his photos to push him into the Flickr Explore engine. Since a lot of people look at Explore, this generates more traffic and interest. From there, it’s all about quality, catchy, photography. Better, more distinctive, “interesting”, photos generate traffic, and that makes lots of buzz.
Matt’s photos (hope he doesn’t mind me calling him Matt) are very good and very catchy. I congratulate him on his talent and success. And obviously, we will be seeing a lot of his work here.
