But the whole point is that you're just supposed to photograph whatever you are doing on the day - not that you should find something interesting especially for FirstView. If you're doing something special you can photograph that, by all means, but if it's just a routine day, you photograph the routine. It's a pictorial diary of the forum members' activities. And if they're mundane, well, that's life!
I know there's a temptation to show the world what exotic and fascinating lives we lead, but unless that's the reality - and presumably for most of us it isn't - then it would only tend to invalidate the project. Granted, it's not meant to be some grand academically valid piece of research, but if all we do is contribute when we feel we have something particularly interesting to show, then what really is the point? These are forums for photography enthusiasts, so we post pictures like that anyway. FirstView is meant to be something different - a little piece of photographic social documentary, if you like.
