Photography is one subject that interests Taglines a lot and there are many superb photos taken not only here in Tagland, but throughout the world. One of the photos of the year was that brave woman in America defying a line of fully armed and armoured riot police to arrest her for just standing there.
There was the superb Visa exhibition of photo-journalism in Perpignan and the nostalgic expo of sixties rockers at the Toulouse Lautrec museum in Albi.
