ThingsAmongMany

One day I shot a picture of my lunch. Pretty much out of boredom. I got a chuckle out of it, and that was it… Until I did it again the next day. And the next. Eventually it just became a bit of a “thing”. Now I try to grab a shot of my lunch every day. It’s not something I do for “health” reasons. I’m not trying to track my calories during lunch. I don’t shoot photos of any other meals. And I don’t generally freak out if I miss a day. It’s just something I do for fun (though I do have a couple of ideas on how to extend it that I’d like to pursue later).

I also started a group on Flickr where other people could join in the fun. Of course, the group was just me for quite a while. But then someone else joined. We chatted. It was nice. And suddenly, over the last week we’ve had an influx of about a dozen new members! It’s starting to feel like a real group!

And, to top it off, we’re being featured on Flickr Group Roulette tomorrow. Not familiar with this group? Well, neither was I, but of course I stopped by to check it out when I learned that they’d be borrowing our theme. Basically, they’re a self-portrait per day type group (there are quite a few on Flickr), but they’re different because each day is supposed to follow a theme of some sort. Tomorrow’s theme? You guessed it: “What I Had For Lunch Today”.

Sound interesting? Please, join up, submit your photos, and take part in tomorrow’s theme!
