venta

Bento&co, an online supplier of boxes and twiddly lunchly accessories, hold an annual bento-making competition. They announce a theme, you make a bento box to that theme and send them a photo. They've always been quite keen to emphasise that it's as much a photo competition as it is a lunch-making competition.

However, I like making bento boxes and I like taking photographs. So yesterday I set on to make my entry.

My digital camera is currently knackered, so I took my dad's old camera away with me at the weekend. I hadn't realised quite how cheap and nasty his old camera was (his new camera's lovely, mind), or that it wouldn't be able to take photos of moving things without blur.

So, no photos of people dancing. Instead, a snap of something stationary which amused me quite disproportionately on Saturday morning:
