Narrow focus

I don't doubt that most - maybe all - of the photography exhibitions that made the Guardian's "best of 2019" list were great. After all, it features big hitters like Don McCullin, Nan Goldin and Cindy Sherman - and the display of 60-odd previously unexhibited Diane Arbus pictures was always going to attract a lot of attention.

However, as has been pointed out on Twitter, the list implies that nothing of note happened outside central London. On the contrary, it did. Surely there might have been a place for Martin Parr's Return To Manchester, for instance?
