New Year Resolutions 2024
I wish to extend my gratitude to each of you for forwarding your New Year Resolutions to me, and I must also express my appreciation for your patience regarding the delay in their publication. The recent months have been marked by a mixture of notable events; from the celebratory occasion of my middle son, Jovian, graduating from one of the world’s foremost universities in Digital Media, to the challenging episodes of grappling with a second bout of Covid and, tragically, the loss of my dear brother.
The passing of my brother has undoubtedly been the most formidable trial to endure. I find solace only in silent tears, as I grapple with the harsh reality of his sudden departure due to an aggressive cancer. In what feels like the blink of an eye, we were stripped of his presence. His absence echoes in my thoughts as I catch myself wishing to share moments with him, only to be confronted repeatedly by the cruel truth of his absence.
Despite the shadows that have touched my personal sphere, I am heartened by the joyous moments many of you have experienced and the anticipation you hold for the year ahead. Your collective contributions have enriched this compilation, and I am confident you will find it a rewarding read. Thank you for your unwavering support and enthusiasm.

Joanne Carter
Joanne Carter, creator of the world’s most popular mobile photography and art website— TheAppWhisperer.com— TheAppWhisperer platform has been a pivotal cyberspace for mobile artists of all abilities to learn about, to explore, to celebrate and to share mobile artworks. Joanne’s compassion, inclusivity, and humility are hallmarks in all that she does, and is particularly evident in the platform she has built. In her words, “We all have the potential to remove ourselves from the centre of any circle and to expand a sphere of compassion outward; to include everyone interested in mobile art, ensuring every artist is within reach”, she has said. Promotion of mobile artists and the art form as a primary medium in today’s art world, has become her life’s focus. She has presented lectures bolstering mobile artists and their art from as far away as the Museum of Art in Seoul, South Korea to closer to her home in the UK at Focus on Imaging. Her experience as a jurist for mobile art competitions includes: Portugal, Canada, US, S Korea, UK and Italy. And her travels pioneering the breadth of mobile art includes key events in: Frankfurt, Naples, Amalfi Coast, Paris, Brazil, London. Pioneering the world’s first mobile art online gallery - TheAppWhispererPrintSales.com has extended her reach even further, shipping from London, UK to clients in the US, Europe and The Far East to a global group of collectors looking for exclusive art to hang in their homes and offices. The online gallery specialises in prints for discerning collectors of unique, previously unseen signed limited edition art. Her journey towards becoming The App Whisperer, includes (but is not limited to) working for a paparazzi photo agency for several years and as a deputy editor for a photo print magazine. Her own freelance photographic journalistic work is also widely acclaimed. She has been published extensively both within the UK and the US in national and international titles. These include The Times, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, Popular Photography & Imaging, dpreview, NikonPro, Which? and more recently with the BBC as a Contributor, Columnist at Vogue Italia and Contributing Editor at LensCulture. Her professional photography has also been widely exhibited throughout Europe, including Italy, Portugal and the UK.
