Mobile Photography & Art Flickr Group Showcase – 10 September 2017

As I created this weeks Mobile Photography and Art Flickr Group showcase, Orfeo et Eurydice: Melodie for Piano Solo performed by James Rhodes played and soothed me, this beautiful rendition will likely reduce you to tears. Rhodes is a highly accomplished concert pianist and a man whose personal memoir is so raw and harrowing that the court of appeal initially prevented him from publishing it, the ban was lifted and his book ‘Instrumental: A Memoir of Madness, Medication and Music‘ which includes a Spotify playlist, is a heartbreakingly difficult read. Music saved Rhodes and he makes no bones about it. ‘Plot 29‘ by Allan Jenkins, Observer Food Monthly editor is another memoir I have indulged in this week. Another heartbreaking look at life, for Jenkins it was gardening that saved him. My point being, many of us need a creative outlet from the realities of our past lives, we need to be empowered by our own imagination. Art (in all forms) is a purging, a coming to terms, an effort to reach the unreachable. That said, we need more creative leaders, more creative people in our boardrooms. More urgently that ever, this needs to be the creative age for mankind. This weeks showcase perfectly demonstrates the evolution of mobile photography and art, on the eve of iPhone 8/X release. Sprawling with cinematic visual language, exploring narratives, this mis-en-scène is one you will savour, it is the very essence of creativity, enjoy!
