When I was in Bradford this weekend, I was dying to visit the National Media Museum (to which Akmal replied to and said I was sad). Whatever. It was incredible. And they had all an arcade game exhibition on causing me to break my pound coins into 10p’s and bashing Street Fighter with abandoned glee.

Suffice to say, I like exhibitions, museums and galleries. That was an unwarranted and unneeded explanation but you got it anyway.

If like me, you are poor and live in The Big Smoke, I direct you to Travel Photographer of the Year opening this Thurs 5th May (you could go after voting) until June 10. Hosted at the National Geographic Society, you can see all of 2010′s best images, along with fantastic 19th century travel photos from the Society’s archives.

Oh, and the best part is, that it is free.
