A Leonard Lopate Show Photo Project

Most of us have a random object that inspires us – a found seashell, an empty box, a souvenir trinket, a sculpture bought at a yard sale. On Friday, December 21, the Leonard Lopate Show is hosting a new listener photo project, Taking Things Seriously – inspired by the new book of the same title, by Joshua Glenn and Carol Hayes.

So...think about a strange object that has meaning to you, take a photo, and submit it via Flickr. And tell us the story behind the object – what makes it meaningful– in the photo's description field.
