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!

But how many pictures of my work-station can you really stand.......

Though I grant it may be of minor documentary interest to observe the ebb and flow of the tidal wave of bumf and rubbish across it......

The point I was trying to make, badly I suspect, is that after a while you will have photographed pretty much all the routine stuff. Indeed the act of photographing your normal routine on the first of every month will itself start to feel routine; we know this often acts against enthusiasm and tends to lead to the "blow it, I can't be bothered" syndrome. This month I actually looked forward to First View if only for the fact that I whatever I photographed would be less humdrum than usual... I suspect I'm not alone...
