Eating
I'm really into cooking, and am in general a big fan of food so a lot of sets of pictures involve eating out, or some other food related goings on. It's a strange category, I struggle to imagine people coming to John's Pictures just to see pictures of me and my friends eating, but that's life I suppose. Often a bit pointless, that is.
