One of the most entertaining things I ever attended with an amateur photography society was something called a slide matching competition.

The way it worked was thus: 3 different local photography groups met up in a room with three projectors and three screens. Each group had selected 100 slides, and in rotation a group would select and display a slide, after which the other two groups would have to find a slide from their own collection that was as close as possible to it. Much hilarity ensued and our group won. Hurrah!

Anyway, Mr Bliss, over at The Quiet Road has written an article about recent events at student demonstrations in London and Dublin, and how they were covered by the media.

He also included a picture.



And so, in the spirit of the slide matching competition that I enjoyed so much, I felt compelled to put it together with this image, culled from the BBC's coverage of the London demo.



What do you think? Do they match?
