The problem with using a theme is that you may wind up like the princes in the
fairy tale "The Three Princes of Serendip". By fixating on a particular theme
(and thereby producing a collection of mostly contrived pictures) you may miss a
lot of really good shots. This has been my general impression from viewing many
themed shows.
Count me in too: I go out to take pictures and shot what gets my attention.

...Do most of you create work within 'projects'?
...Am I in the minority by virtue of not planning out my photo outings?

Jeffrey, if you're in the minority, then I'm there with you.
On occasion I have gone out purposely to shoot to a "theme" but most of the time
I'm either just out with a camera of some sort, or on vacation with a camera, or
out, in some form, wishing I had a camera.
Recent (last year or so...) discussion with local photographers, some "gallery"
folks, others not, has me wondering whether I should embark on the "project"
route.
Am I missing something (fresh challenges, gallery opportunities, ???) by not
shooting "projects"? I don't know, but I am looking forward to reading what
others have to say about this.
