Dickens Window Stats
I'm not sure I'm working with complete data, (eg, I'm counting "sweeps" as one person), but I count...
135 windows, of which 101 were solos and 34 were duos for very close to a 3:1 ratio.
Vaudie and Janice were tied for most windows with 4 each.
16 people were in 3 windows each.
32 were in 2 windows each.
49 had 1 window each.
Personally, I missed 28 windows so shot 107 which is about 80%.
I took 5658 shots and kept 1355 of them for an overall yield of .239. (yield = shots kept / shots taken)
By window...

Looking at the windows and yields, I come to a few conclusions. Most of my yields are right at .333. I tend to shoot three times for each shot I frame and keep only the best one. So a yield of .333 means that I shot three times for each framing and kept one for each framing. I'm remarkably steady on that.
Windows with higher yields aren't, generally, my favorite windows. Rather, windows with higher yields tend to be windows where I've leaned more towards "documentation" than "art". Windows that pique me I tend to shoot more, experiment more, and thus also throw away more. I take more framings and throw more away. I also shoot more shots per framing. There's an inverse correlation between the number of shots I took of a window and it's yield, although I tend to produce higher quality shots from the windows with lower yields.
For your amusement, here are some top 10's. Please understand that these say as much about my mood and state of mind at the time as they do of the quality of your windows. Please also understand that I tend to have a bias for solo windows over duos. Even when a duo is excellent, I tend to pay less attention to them than I do to solos. While the ratio of solos to duos was 3:1, only one duo makes my top ten for shots taken.

My favorite new model this year was Briana.
My favorite returning model this year was Nicole.
My favorite shot of the year is this one:
With an honorable mention for:
because it make me smile to think that justice cheats.
While I loved Nicole's bicycle window and got many gorgeous shots from it, I'll have to say that my favorite window this year was the washer women.
And finally, I'd just like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who modeled in the windows this year. You are all beautiful and I hope to see, and shoot you again.
