Mobile Photography & Art Flickr Group Showcase – 5 June 2016
“However long your stay on this small planet lasts, and whatever happens during it, the most important thing is that-from time to time-you feel life’s sweet caress” and so continues the wistful prose of William Boyd’s 16th novel, Sweet Caress, that I have deeply indulged this week. Boyd is a brilliant novelist and I highly recommend our readers enjoy this tale of a fictional female photographer, in this brilliant story of a life well lived. It engrosses with a level of detail that I often hanker for. This weeks’ mobile photography and art flickr group showcase overwhelms with a narrative all of its own. With a resolute, all encompassing, technically dazzling and deeply moving perspective, representing the very best mobile photography and art today. This showcase retains the hallmark technical and emotional skill for which mobile photography and art is renowned. Enjoy!
