Speaking of themes - are two things a theme? Two heads, two red things on a leaf, two bugs...
I write book reviews in Finnish in the Valopolku blog.

"are two things a theme?"
Well, it could be one. Three images probably doesn't mean pursuing a theme, but it could mean a start. And, theme or not, I may add that I do enjoy viewing such mini sequences as they can be a lot more than just 3 photographs.
@Markus: Indeed - several pictures can be more than one. (Not always, but sometimes.)
Juha: they can be much more than their number - though I guess you know that already ;)
Just found your blog, thanks to DPReview. I like it. Though I'm a dedicated Nikon DSLR shooter, I do carry a Lumix P&S around, and wish I had the LX-3 - it's a sweet camera!
I believe two things can be a theme as long as they have a unifying basis, or idea. I work more or less on a "project" basis which is thematic in nature. My projects are open-ended, continuous, that way I don't find myself fixating on any single idea. When I find a subject fitting one of my project's subject matter, then I fixate!
Nice site - thanks for sharing!

@Anonymous: Using the word "project" in the context of photography scares me - there are quite enough projects to manage at work...
I more or less use photography as a balancing force. It allows me to escape from project-oriented thinking. And this works very well - I can forget (for a moment) all work-related matters when I use the camera.
Juha -
I see your point. Still, we all have to march to our own beat, and for me, thinking in project oriented terms works (despite the fact that I too have projects at work).

@John: Indeed - and in fact, much of the good work would never happen it there weren't projects to focus the attention.
