Sponge is the new art

Colour your World Service

So this is what I did with my yellow sponge for My TVC's colour your world art project.

Initially I thought I might do something a little different with it, because of My TVC's Flickr name -- TVC is the acronym of BBC Television Centre. But...

TVC is the other side of town for me.
I wasn't convinced I could get a decent angle with the sponge and the BBC logo on the side of that iconic building.
And, then I realised that My TVC had posted: "I’m hoping to get a good spread across the globe, so international interest is appreciated.

Bingo. I had a better plan. BBC World Service offers a global audience international news and information from the BBC, wherever you are in the world.

So, a bit of a parody of an iconic Bush House image it was: "This is London".

I like this one as this guy just walked into the shot and clicked at the brass plaque, at the same time as I was all set up and taking a picture. It kind of made sense of why I chose this shot -- images of Bush House, and the brass plaques, are taken by many many visitors who make their personal pilgrimage, year round. And those prized snaps make their way back around the world to be shown to friends and relations.

I would hazard a guess, however, that this might just be the first to be taken with a yellow sponge.
