A collection of photos

A friend of mine on Flickr recently set up a group where he plans to showcase a photographer each week in a mini-exhibition. This week I was flattered that he chose me - I say flattered because I don't think my photos are anywhere near as good as the photographer he chose for the first week.

Anyway, if you're interested in having a look then they can be found at the link below, although I think you have to "Join the group" before it will show you the discussion threads where the collections reside.

http://www.flickr.com/groups/novelgallery/

I'd recommend joining, as last week's exhibition was really excellent (I won't comment on mine) and the "curator" does a good job of selecting a small collection of interesting photos. Having your own photos chosen by someone else is also a strange experience, he certainly picked a number of photographs that I hadn't initially thought very appealing at all...

Re: A collection of photos

Ooooh look, Scott (the guy who started the group) has made a cool poster from one of my photos... If you like the idea of promoting the group, feel free to upload it to your own photostream.

Oh and remember to go back each week, Scott was saying there's no way that he can message group members when a new exhibition is up, so people will just have to remember - he aims to put them live regularly every Monday morning.

Re: A collection of photos

This is a really good idea for a group in flickr. And I don't know why you think your photos aren't worthy to be given this treatment because they are great. The ones he's chosen for the thread work really well. A great collection.

Re: A collection of photos

There's a new exhibition up for those who are interested (remember you have to join the group to see the exhibitions).

This time it comes from a surrealist photographer/artist - well worth looking at if you ask me, his work is like nothing I've seen on Flickr before:

Re: A collection of photos

This week's exhibition has been put up. Follow the link below if you want to see it (remember you need to join the group, but that's all, nothing else is required of you!)

BTW, is me posting these links actually of interest to anyone? I don't want to be spamming the forum...

Re: A collection of photos

It is indeed - but somehow today is the first time I've seen this thread.

I'm still picking myself up off the floor.

It is Jon.

I know Scott puts the new Novel Gallery cover in his photostream so it shows up in contact's new photos but the Novel Gallery logo isn't that obvious in the little thumbnail.

Re: A collection of photos

Hi ya

Just had a look at Jon Block's exhibition, what a great concept

Like the idea of someone else picking say 15 pictures that to show off someones work.


Cheers Holo

Oh BTW the new collection is up, but there doesn't seem to be a poster this week (I was waiting for one). I guess Scott wanted a bit of time off!
