Flickr have launched this excellent new feature called Galleries, which lets you curate a little set of other people's pictures. I heard about this just as I was looking at the above video by Matt and the phrase 'London Kills Me' popped into my head. So I made a gallery, called it that and went looking for pictures that seemed to fit with that title. They're not hard to find. And now there's a few (very nice) comments on the gallery saying, in effect, yes indeedy, London is crap isn't it?
Which isn't what I think at all. And I'm not a fan of the very bleakism I seem to have perpetrated.
So I made another gallery, "London Thrills Me (Still)" and stuck some pictures in there too. And even to my rose-tinted eyes it's not as good. Nice pictures, but less of a story, too postcardy. That's the problem with 'art'; it feeds on darkness. Misery seems significant whereas happiness always seems superficial. Ah well.
UPBEAT UPDATE: James has done a much better Good London gallery.
