Plans in pipeline for funny flood photo exhibition

As Australia’s ‘rain’ as the world’s biggest island continues to be threatened, funny photos of the Queensland floods are set to shown in an exhibition that plans to open in London. ‘Every morning, the front pages of the printed and electronic media have another clever photo of a partially submerged ‘Road liable to flood’ warning sign or a floating cricket bat. These images are keeping a story going that is otherwise dead in the water,’ said Jemima Waters-Broek, an exhibitions curator at a London gallery, ‘The press has been literally flooded with these funny shots. London is in desperate need of a good laugh, and hopefully this show will raise its dampened spirit.’
Floating houses and cars have presented the funnier side of floods as have people snapped struggling home from the shops chest deep in muddy water. ‘We are still waiting for the classic shot of sheep or cow in a tree or, better still, on a roof. Let’s face it, there has been a deluge of pictures of eucalyptus trees in acres of brown water and they are boring.’ said Ms. Waters-Broek.
