We set out our new section on TAW a few days ago and Mob-Entrepreneurs is becoming a very busy space. It’s a special are where we can highligh all of the many fabulous ventures that mobile photographers and artists are involved in. You can find out more about it here.
Bob Weil and Daria Polichetti (iPhoneArt.com) have been invited to be jurors for the mobile component of the American Aperture Awards. It is not primarily a mobile arts competition. Founded by Chris Davies, the publisher of Fabrik Magazine in LA (a former LA photography gallery owner) and a select collection of art books, AX3 should be an interesting new addition to the cross-genre photography exhibition scene. I’m sure looking forward to being a part of it!
