Bullring Birmingham

<p>Bullring Birmingham is offering everybody the chance to become an exhibited photographer this year with the Bullring Art Project. The centre is encouraging the local community to share their feelings of positivity and optimism with the Bullring Art Project in the form of their favourite images, videos and artwork. Content has already been exhibited around the centre in the form of mall guides, advertising and a mosaic exhibition. There’s now another chance to get involved as Bullring is currently looking for photographers and artists to share their work for an art installation, which will appear in Bullring during the Christmas period. Share you wonderfully winter images, festive pics and videos, and you could become an exhibited photographer in the UK’s most visited shopping centre.

<p>The picture below is what I saw the first time I was in Birmingham in 1965.</p>

<p>Here I thought Alabama had used up the casinos as a source for revenue and were taking up bull fighting.</p>

<h3>Bullring Birmingham, UK</h3>

<p>JDM - here in the UK we don't feel the need to identify where a town is because the other Birminghams in the world were all named after our Birmingham. So just plain 'Birmingham' has to be that one slap in the middle of England. Following the same idea we also have a Royal Navy and Royal Air Force but do not feel the need to specify to which royal family they owe allegiance. We in the UK consider ourselves to be the 'one and only truly original' - like the Pink Panther. It comes from living on an island and ,where names are concerned, being first to the punch. :-)</p>

<p><em>Note: Original post reported. Sounded like spam for yet another scam contest to grab royalty free photos from entrants in exchange for some fairy cake and a "Cannon" camera.</em></p>

<p>...aka 'share their work'....'and bexome an exhibited photgrapher....'</p>

<p>But strangely enough, Colin, <em>this site</em> is anchored firmly in the New World, so a little less English chauvinism might be called for, just in condescension and politeness to us "colonials." Pip-pip and all that, y'knew. The purpose of a title is to let people know what your spam was all about, after all, not to serve up another BBC English Mystery (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_nationalism">link</a>).</p>

<p>I think that a full wipe is certainly called for here. Otherwise, this is sort of like the smile of the Cheshire Cat, what?</p>

<p>I for one am rather fond of Bullring in Birmingham. I grew up in Brum and despite all the negativity about the place, especially the accent, I feel emotionally attached to it.</p>
