Mobile Photography & Art – Showcase – 27 February 2022
This weeks mobile photography and art showcase is wholly dedicated to our dear friend, Teresita Alonso Garit, developer of the hugely popular mobile app, iColorama. She is currently trying desperately to escape Ukraine. Hopefully, many of you viewed our post from yesterday, with images Teresita has taken within Ukraine. If not, please go here. We have been in close contact with her throughout this war.
The latest update I received from her was today at 8.30 am (GMT), she has nearly reached the safety of Poland but she cannot write to me until ‘we are safe 100%‘. Many of her family, as far as I know are still sheltering in a bunker in the capital, Kyiv.
Yesterday, I also gave details of charities supporting Ukraine, many artists have asked me how they can send funds directly to Terestia and her family, and although she is very grateful, she said ‘its absolutely not necessary! they should help Ukraine with your links‘. We pray for Terestia and family and stand firmly with Ukraine. Thank you to all the artists who have contributed to this weeks showcase, so much of the work relates to the distress we are all feeling.
If you would like your work to be considered for entry into our weekly Mobile Photography and Art Flickr showcase, please submit it to our dedicated group, here. Alternatively if you’re an Instagram user just tag your images with #theappwhisperer and we’ll pick you up.
