Repetition is everywhere in the city — in motion, in habit, in design. It's the same shape, gesture, or element echoed again and again. Sometimes it’s choreographed — uniforms, queues, synchronized movement. Sometimes it’s accidental — a row of crates, a sea of matching umbrellas, three people checking their phones in the same posture. Repetition brings structure to an image, but it also brings energy. And often, it's the **one thing that breaks the repetition** that makes the shot work — the one person out of line, the one object that doesn’t belong. Patterns are an inevitable part of repetition. Repetition creates patterns, so at some juncture, you might find yourself thinking in terms of pattern—and thats okay, but this isn’t really about finding patterns — it’s about repetition on the street. **Try to think more people and objects rather than architectural facades.** ### **What to look for:** * People walking in sync, standing in formation, or mirroring gestures * Matching outfits — uniforms, coordinated couples, or strangers dressed alike * Rows of identical objects — bins, crates, chairs, signs, wheels, bikes * Repeated signage — fonts, symbols, stickers * Traffic or pedestrian flow — feet, wheels, umbrellas * Accidental rhythm — three people on their phones, same haircut, same shoes ### **Tips:** * **Zoom in** on the rhythm — isolate the repetition inside the frame * **Wait** for the right moment — repetition in people often lasts just a beat * **Look for the break** — the one thing that stands out in the pattern * **Work with time** — repetition is often about timing, not just space ### **Bonus Challenge:** Photograph a **sequence of three or more** repeated elements in motion — footsteps, gestures, or actions — and see if you can catch the rhythm in a single frame. *** ### **Meet 2:30:** **Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Exit C2**, street level, 2:30PM sharp. From there, explore the surrounding streets — all rich in crowds, symmetry, and urban rhythm. There’s the Prominade to the south, Nathan Road action, smaller streets in between, Kowloon Park, and Canton Road. ### **Regroup between 4:15-4:30:** **Delaney’s Irish Pub**, basement of Mary Building, 71–77 Peking Road, TST. Get here between 4:15-4:30PM. Please stay a while to share your experience, thoughts, and maybe some images while grabbing a drink (or more). **After all this:** Please post 5 of your best images from the shoot that fit today’s project. And PLEASE, be a participant in commenting on other images. Content reactions (oh what a cute dog) and general comments (apples look tasty) are always welcome, but respectful and constructive critiques on composition or technique are even better. It's part of the process and valuable for your fellow photographers.

Our book for January 2026 is *The Measure,* by Nikki Erlick. *It seems like any other day. You wake up, drink a cup of coffee, and head out.* *But today, when you open your front door, waiting for you is a small wooden box. The contents of this mysterious box tell you the exact number of years you will live.* *In an instant, the world is thrust into a collective frenzy. Where did these boxes come from? What do they mean? Is there truth to what they promise?* *As society comes together and pulls apart, everyone faces the same shocking choice: Do they wish to know how long they’ll live? And, if so, what will they do with that knowledge?* This month’s discussion will be held at Commaa in Sheung Wan on the 25th of January @ 2:00 pm. Please note: the café asks that for large groups, guests buy at least one beverage per person ($60 minimum). They have a selection of sweet treats, coffees, teas, and other drinks available for purchase. After the discussion, we will choose the next book by group vote. Please bring your suggestions for future books!

A Star Trek convention

Full event details: [https://www.annkite.com/sundays](https://www.annkite.com/sundays) Join our Practice 11-1pm, bring a dish to share and stay if you can for the potluck after! The 5Rhythms® of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness form ‘The Wave’, a simple movement meditation practice that encourages us to find our own movement into presence and embodiment, discovering ourselves at our most fluid and creative level. The Rhythms are different ways of moving that are related to different ways of being in the world. As we practice them, we bring more of ourselves –body, heart, mind & soul- into movement, on the dance floor & out in the world. There are no steps to learn and it can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of age, fitness, ability, or experience. Our dance is an individual and collective experience. How much you choose to interact with other dancers is up to you. We ask only that you come with a heartful respect for yourself and every other person on the floor. The 5Rhythms teacher is here to help take you deeper into the experience, when you’re ready. There are no steps to learn. 5Rhythms can be practiced by anyone regardless of age, fitness, ability, or experience. For more information about what to expect in your first 5Rhythms class, see https://www.annkite.com/about.

What's better than brunch? Brunch with the LGBTQ+ community, of course! Join the Dulles Triangles at 11:00 AM for a dazzling brunch at **[Amphora Diner](http://amphoragroup.com/amphoras-diner-deluxe/)**, located at **1151 Elden St, Herndon, VA 20170**. This is your chance to catch up with old pals, make some new ones, and bask in the glory of a Sunday well-brunched! Amphora’s menu is as diverse as our community, offering everything from omelets and pancakes to divine bakery treats. Seriously, their pastries are more irresistible than a shirtless Ryan Gosling holding a puppy! **RSVP Required!** Amphora needs a headcount beforehand, and adding seats at the last minute is like trying to squeeze into last year’s pride outfit—tricky! To ensure you get a seat at the brunch extravaganza, RSVP on Meetup or in the Dulles Triangles Facebook group by the day before. Those who RSVP get priority seating, and we promise not to judge if you show up in sequins. Remember to ask for Dulles Triangles when you arrive. Use the links below to RSVP and secure your spot faster than you can say "mimosas." This event is usually held on the first Sunday of each month, but check for updates because we like to keep things as flexible as our dance moves. Keep an eye on the current schedule so you don't miss out!
