I have started yet another group, and this one is the most exclusive yet. Anyone is welcome to join, of course, but the focus is on About Me lenses for the holidays.
I don’t remember how or when the idea came to me, but I decided that my contribution to the Month of Hope challenge would be to create a list of all the things I would love to receive for Christmas this year. Perhaps that sounds a little greedy, but I always say that if no one liked getting gifts, then there wouldn’t be so much fuss about giving. So let’s all just admit that we like getting presents just as much as we like to give them. And one of the best things about giving is knowing that the person is getting exactly what they wanted.
In any case, I wanted my lens to be autobiographical. Many lens masters indicate that they love to read about their fellow Squids. It’s true that bio lenses are fun to read, and anyone with a lensography knows that the more of You you put into it, the better. So I picked 10 of the things I’m wishing for most this year, and described what it is that I love about them.
It occurred to me that anyone and everyone could do a Christmas wish list lens, and so I created the My Christmas Wish List group. I’ve had no new bites so far, except for an hilarious lens by kab, which I stumbled across shortly after publishing the group. It’s actually a list of things that no-one - especially kab - would want for Christmas. Actually, I would like a couple of things on the list, but I’m not as normal as the average bear, so to speak.
Although the idea behind My Christmas Wish List is to make a lens devoted to charity, I thought it would be a fun way for lens masters to let their friends and family know what they’d like to find under the tree. I’ve even thought of posting my own list on Facebook. Either way, I think that Santa will appreciate getting a letter that has so many visual aids.
