Mobile Photography & Art Flickr Group Showcase – 13 December 2015
You may have realised by now that these weekly mobile photography and art Flickr Group Showcases are an expression of love, passion, seduction and heat but also they portray emotions that we sometimes try to suppress, guilt, addiction, shame and anger. What’s the difference between guilt and shame, you may well ask. Guilt is about your behaviour and shame is about who you are, according to more one than source. These showcases above all represent growth, we all pass through passages and stages of life but the question is, can we keep growing? Or will we get stuck somewhere? I am not qualitifed for you to open your psyche to but I do understand quite an assortment of mental and emotional conditions. In short, I’ve been hurt deeply and those experiences trigger my creativity and in turn help me to showcase and recognise yours.
This weeks showcase is so full of all of the above mixed with the most incredible talent from the mobile photography and art. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I do. Many congratulations to the following artists for being featured this week:
