Flickr Group Showcase – TheAppWhisperer (TAW) – May 4, 2014
Wow! We have just produced our latest Flickr Group Showcase, the first one for May 2014 and it is incredible! It’s so full of meaning and atmosphere this week, we begin with a fabulous image entitled ‘Glow’ by Bruno Ribeiro and that leads us into incredible imagery, with many of the trials and tribulations of life/relationships played out this week. This is particularly poignant with the portraiture that it leads into and then we view some outstanding travel and street photography, we then move steadfastly into breathtaking painterly images and next we’re greeted and buoyed by beautiful bouquets and individual floral still life images each with subtle lighting, luscious landscapes…
Tickle Your Fancy #35
Welcome back to our thirty fifth post in our new section ‘Tickle Your Fancy’. ‘Tickle Your Fancy’ includes a round-up of five links to articles from around the internet that have specifically interested us during the course of the week.

We hope you enjoy this weeks’ selections… Sex, Drugs…

Fascinating Artist Talk With Jeff Wall
This is really quite fascinating, ‘Jeff Wall (b. 1946, Vancouver) is one of the most important and fascinating artists living today, and undoubtedly one of those responsible for establishing photography at the forefront of contemporary art. From his early days to the present – varying in techniques and topics, from street photography in his “near-documentary” style, quotes and complex and original references to art history to reconstructed “cinematographic” style – the distinction between the commonplace and the spectacular is blurred, and the topics of masterpieces are converted to everyday simplicity’.
