Hi.  I just noticed that the same person voted on 8 of my images within the last hour or so.  Is that normal?  I am not complaining, just found it curious that the same person would hit so many of my images from the pool in such a short amount of time.

Not that unusual at all.  Especially if the votes come from an active voter and your entries are relatively recent posts.  There is a voting buffer that prevents anyone for voting on every image in the contest. This buffer is set at 500 images for all category voting.

A active voter often reaches their voting buffer and is required to stop voting until more images are uploaded into the contest.  If time passes and 700 or 800 new images are added to the voting pool the next time they vote they will be getting a random selection of 1200 to 1300 images. 

If you have added 20 images during their voting down time (while they wait for the new images beyond the buffer). The next time they vote there will be a good chance that they will be presented with a number of your images to vote on.  You had eight of your 19 active entries selected (42%).  Not a unreasonable expectation in this type of situation.

Its not that unusual. No one here has any ability to be selective about which images they vote on - apart from choosing a certain category perhaps. So its pure chance that someone encountered so many of your images in such a short time. Your instinct to be grateful was the correct one.
