Flickr Slideshow


Below is my slideshow that I created using Flickr. The reason for taking the pictures that I have taken is because it represents some of my favorite music artists of all time. The pictures that I took are of Prince, U2, R.E.M, and Led Zeppelin. Two of the photos are biographies of Prince and U2. The other two are albums from R.E.M. and Led Zeppelin.
