I recently perused the flickr stream of photos from the republican national convention. I understand the need to point out the uplifting generally upbeat side of any political situation, but these photos just left me with a need to ask what else is going on? These photos seemed to be like painting an old moldy wall, the bad stuff is bound to come up eventually. I found it particularly interesting that there are no images of the current runners for the presidency, they focused on past presidents and the good ole' days of the republican party. Use these images to let us learn about the issues that the convention will address and don't show us your cute little secretaries in their matching outfits, where is the substance?

This entry would have been much more compelling if you illustrated it with an image. I take your point about the general listlessness of the photo stream. What intrigued me is the use of Instagram and the general look of nostalgia that it evoked. I seems to me that this is not a set of images that would appeal to younger voters.
