I decided to do my first (and quite possibly last) ever post for The Gallery hosted by Tara Cain at her Sticky Fingers blog today for two reasons. Not because I've taken a photograph that I am particularly proud of or desperate to share. No. The prompt was the first reason. It was to record One Day in August and specifically 29th August 2010. This date was chosen to coincide with the 3 bloggers heading to Bangladesh to support Save the Children. You can find out more about Blogladesh here. It's something well worth supporting and if by posting for The Gallery I could help spread the word then I really should, shouldn't I.
The second reason was that we already had plans for the date in question and it was possibly going to yield some interesting photographs. During the August bank holiday, Liverpool hosts the Matthew Street Music Festival. As you can probably guess, it is the culmination of a celebration of The Beatles in the city although is by no means limited to music of the Fab Four.
