I am thinking about maybe just taking photos of random stuff I see while I am out and about or anything else. Some things may include: dogs, graffiti, amusing signs and then possibly stuff like: landmarks and great scenic shots.

If I do decide to create such thing I doubt it will ever be something I will ever take seriously, it will be me just uploading things for fun which some people may get the joy of seeing.

Would anyone on here potentially be interested in seeing this happen?

I was thinking the same thing a couple of nights ago, but railway-related graffiti and stuff like that.

I have zero clue what I am going to upload to this new Photostream, possibly a mix of various things where perhaps one day it will just be a photo of some of my shoes then another day it could end up being a landmark or a bench.

It is one of those things that seemed like a good idea at the time but when it came to reality it wasn't. Oh well I actually went ahead and created such a thing even though it didn't really work out.

This was something that Jimmi really wanted to do and was looking forward to, but unfortunately it didn't come to avail. 

(21 Jun 2015, 6:12 pm)Jimmi wrote Yeah I didn't see the point in continuing it as the interest just wasn't there from myself and anybody else so I didn't see the point in carrying on with it. Been hard enough getting people to view the bus photostream although I have 148 people following me a large number of them are randoms trying to get as many people to follow them as possible, got one yesterday who is following 25k people!

The thing is I could have kept the idea in my head and not done anything but I didn't, instead I took the idea and actually brought it to reality and even though it didn't work out at least I actually gave it a shot instead of thinking what might have been.

I also said I was taking a break from Flickr earlier in the week and I've uploaded everyday since Wednesday, I think I need to be stopped! - still got shed loads of Carlisle photos from yesterday and I'm supposed to be going to Blackpool again on Tuesday.

Although the audience may have been small initially, it could have grown and it could have developed.
It may have opened up a new interest and for very little initial effort.
