For good pictures

What is it about Pictures? I love pictures. I like to look at nice pictures. I like to go into the gallery shop, after looking at Pictures in an exhibition, and look at more Pictures on postcards. I have a box file for pictures I like, and this smaller box for smaller pictures I like. Both my Picture boxes are full.
I found my dream picture box online. It’s called VADS, the online resource for visual arts. It has all the picture archives from lots of museums, universities, galleries etc etc. Translation: lots of nice Pictures. You can sign up and then store all your favourites in a ‘lightbox’. The pictures are sorted in collections, depending on where they’re from – the Crafts Council, Design Council, or the Frederick Parker Chair Collection. Et cetera.
I can’t show any here because they’re all copyrighted, but I promise it’s a box of delights.

I know what you mean, I love pictures too – when looking round Salts mill at the weekend, this struck me more than ever when looking in one part where one side was mainly writing and one was mainly pictures – well, I bet you can guess which side I paid more attention to!
