Been to Barcelona [Flickr, personal] — DrJoolz @ 10:20 pm

for a few days with TT. It was a wonderful break and the SUN SHONE. Twas really warm. It is a really good idea to save up some holiday every year to go away late October or November (not in half term) and go somewhere warm. It is a real tonic.

Barcelona? Well there are some very interesting photos to be had .. the tourist run is good, with all the Gaudi architecture everywhere; some excellent art galleries (not as good as Berlin) and some graffitti - but it has been mainly messed up by scrawlers.

By far the best thing was people watching and the weather.

As for my thinking … I have been thinking about NARRATIVES and IDENTITIES. On Flickr we tell stories within our photos, through our photostreams and we show how we want to structure the narratives by the sets we make and the tags we choose. We also weave narratives across the groups we belong to - this is what I think can be called ‘distributed narrative’ (Walker.)

  1. Did you have fabulous blue Barcelona skies above the wonky Gaudi chimneys?
