Is it possible to find out how many times any given image has been viewed?
Modulo caching, I don't see why not. You'd need to process Squid logs as for page views. I don't know if it's being done right now, though.
As far as I know it's not currently being done, but it certainly could be.
I actually got some interesting image view stats out of the sampled page view logs for my talk at SVG Open; since thumbnails have the width in the URL we can for instance compare the actual usage of different sizes of images inline. (Though I only pulled up the data for SVG images for this test.)
Annotated presentation slides are up at: http://leuksman.com/pages/presentations#October_2009
It could be really interesting to pull such hit data straight out of the logs and make them available through the wiki, allowing comparing view frequencies of a given image over time and large vs small etc.
