Mobile Photography – StreetWise – Welcome and Fourth Challenge – ‘Connecting’

“It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter” Alfred Eisenstaedt

Hello Everyone!

We are in the process of curating our July StreetWise showcase and wanted to thank you all for submitting such great images – we look forward to sharing it with you soon!

The theme of our next challenge is ‘Connecting’.

Lately we have been exposed to many images from the streets around the world in the media. As photography is such a powerful tool for expressing feelings and is sometimes more powerful than words, we thought this would be a good way to highlight street photos that illustrate the ways in which we connect to one another – whether it is with another person, or another being, or architecture – the interpretation is open.

“Since I’m inarticulate, I express myself with images.” Helen Levitt

We are so thrilled that we have many of you submitting photos from around the world on StreetWise, and that there is a feeling of connection, support and community with one another here.

A special thank you to Joanne for creating such a wonderful medium with TheAppwhisperer, where we, as street photographers, can share our passion.

The deadline for submitting images is July 31, 2016.

A reminder, as per our group description, all submissions must be shot and processed with a mobile device (smartphone), and we will not include images that are ‘overly apped.’ Please try and post your most recent photos as inspired by this theme.

Also, we have two sites for StreetWise.

For challenges please post up to four photos to our Flickr Challenge Showcase Site and in your title or description include ‘StreetWise – Connecting’:
