What Does ’QwertyPics’ Mean?

‘Qwerty’ refers to the first six letters in the top left corner of a western keyboard and ‘Pics’ is simply short for pictures.

The name plays on the idea behind QwertyPics which is to showcase pictures by photographers from all over the world together with a short written background story.
