We've just archived Volume 12, Number 1 of Photo Corners on the Archive page with 21 Features, 10 commented News stories, 27 Editor's Notes (which included 178 items of interest), no reviews and one site note for a total of 59 stories.

We published 112 images in 25 of those stories, with gear specifications in four stories. We also published three obituaries.

Once again news stories were paltry, with a mere 10 for the month. We filled that vacuum with 21 Features and two special Editor's Notes for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

READERSHIP LEVELS hit a new high for unique sites, beating last month's new high by 108 percent (with still a day to count). Visits remained high as well, nearly triple what we experience through November.

Once again news stories were paltry, with a mere 10 for the month.

A lot of that was on mobile devices. So let us take this opportunity to remind you if you're visiting on a mobile device to use it in landscape mode. You'll see the full show desktop users see rather than the truncated mobile version displayed in portrait mode.

FOR ONCE our daily Around The Horn curation of photography news did not lead the top 10 stories for the month. There isn't even one among the top three stories.

Leading the list was our matinee of Darren Vallence, the Funeral Photographer. That was closely followed by our exposé on How to Pack a Lens which tied for second place with our slide show Soaked by a Storm. Then came six Horns.

Rounding out the top 10 was the news story about the Epson SureLab D1070 tied with yet another Horn. And since there are so many ties this month, we'll toss in the next highest finisher, our obituary of Henry Grossman.

What about the tail end of the list? They are all the most recent stories. They'll percolate up into more ties in the coming days. They always do.

THAT'S NO DOUBT because you like what you see here and don't miss much. Over the past 10 years now, our editorial mix has remained consistent. In a word, it's varied.

We continue to provide a daily list of the work of other people while we dish up stories featuring our own work, including a Friday slide show. Our obituaries are not much emulated elsewhere but echo the matinees in which we explore how other people are working now. We do publish complete specification tables for new gear while we review both gear and books.

This lively mix amuses us first of all. And over the years, we've been glad to see it has kept your interest as well. You can't beat that combination.
