Unless you’re reading this via the magic of RSS (and, let’s face it, nobody is – yet), you’ll see a grid of six photographs just to your right. Go on, have a look.

Sadly they’re not my photos… they’re the latest additions to Flickr’s Manchester community.
And judging by the quality of those that have appeared in just the past few days, Manchester is home to dozens of inquisitive and downright creative photographers.

Here are some of my favourite members from the 300-odd members of that community:

1. James Rowe
2. MikeJDavis
3. Leanda
4. Andrew P Brooks
5. Jez
6. scale 1:1000
7. streetpreacher83
8. harold bishop
9. A~c Jalali
10. eddiemalone

And a special mention to yosigo!!!, who is from the Basque country but has one or two photos of Manchester.

I like Flickr a lot. It’s like Photo.net but with more functionality and accessibility and less pretentiousness. It makes me want to pick up one of my many semi-functional cameras and click-click-click away.
