Today my FB page reached 50k followers. It's a bit hard for me to comprehend this number. I mean, in Switzerland I used to live in a little town Renens with 19k citizens, so my followers community has 2.5 little towns of people, it's like some incredible number. But what really makes me proud is that I put online every single creative project I do, even if I know it's not going to be popular one, even if I see some flows in it - it's a working process, it's my working page. I don't have to make projects to please my followers and I don't decline projects because they won't be popular - I do my work and people want to see more and it feels good :)

So, just to gain some perspective, a short history of my FB page.
Jan 2011 - I created my page, but wasn't sure what to do with it. And it holded true for quite a long time actually - I use to put there announces, stories, even jokes before I learned it's for the resulting pictures, one every 3 days, 3 from each series. Aug 2011 - I finally uploaded my first picture, big achievement on that time. Later I learned people don't like photos of magazines as much as just pictures (no idea why)

Jul 2014- first > 200 likes. This photoshoot was actually amazing luck - we had storm coming from Geneva side of the lake and sunshine from the sunset at the Villeneuve side. Heavy rain just started and Joan was afraid of lightings so I had to get in the water too :)
