Flickr Sets

Flickr is great, and if you haven't tried it out, I urge you to do so. Wish there was a way of storing photos and sets to go back to without marking them as favourites, though - and setting lots of strangers as "contacts" would just seem odd to me. (If I've missed an obvious method, do tell me!) So, here are some that I wanted to keep track of:

Positivity?

This set records the Evening Standard's headlines on its advertising boards, giving an interesting illustration of their agenda.

Glasgow, Architecture, ...

This photographer lives in Glasgow, and has lots of nice shots of buildings and landscapes, and some particularly good ones of places in Glasgow.

Memory Lane

Some nice shots of Kiel. See also the Kiel group and this shot of the Landeshaus. Also these and these.

Cal's T Shirt Collection

Set recording the incredible T shirt collection of Flickr's lead developer, Cal Henderson. Cal's main stream is here.

Typography & Lettering Group

Waiting for the Bus in Fog

Really like the atmosphere of that shot.

City Shots

Some good shots of London, Dublin & Paris here.

Scotland & the Scots

And possibly others besides. Some good landscapes and interesting portraits.

More to follow, no doubt.
