Gray’s Anatomy – ‘Time for a (big) change?’ – By Richard Gray
My eyes have been struggling with the small iPhone screen. After a long scribble session with PS Touch or some intricate masking on Photo Wizard, I find myself slightly bleary-eyed. I think I need more real estate on my screen. And I admit, with my iphone contract coming up for renewal, I have been looking at the “larger” options. And in a world where the big corporations know everything about us, barely a day has gone by when I haven’t received some sort of overture from one of the world’s leading phone manufacturers or networks. Some of the approaches have been quite discrete. I know how these sort of…

We’re delighted to published the latest article to Lola Mitchell’s App Nerds Workshop Column. This is a truly stunning article and we are sure you will love it, over to you Lola…(foreword by Joanne Carter). So last week I did the unthinkable. It is not the first time either. So here I go (breathing shakily while standing at the platform): ‘My name is Lola Mitchell and I mixed iphone photography and what is called traditional photography.’ Screams everywhere, undignified huffing… ‘And I will do it again too!’ complete silence. My defense: I am exploring all the tools that are available to me and experimenting. Still doing mostly Iphone/Ipad only…
Mobile Movies Showcase – Week 2 – By Donna Donato
Welcome back to our second article in our fabulous new Column, Mobile Movies curated by myself. We have been inspired by the Flickr upgrade of 1 Terabyte of storage for everyone and have been wanting to launch a mobile movie section for some time.

Gray’s Anatomy – The Royal Society for iPhoneographers – By Richard Gray
There’s a huge building on London’s very salubrious Piccadilly which used to be the home of the Royal Institute for Painters in Water Colors. I know this because the words “The Royal Institute for Painters in Water Colors” are written in large stone letters across the top of the building. People sometimes say of something they’re not quite sure about: it’s not set in stone. The Painters in Water Colors were obviously quite sure of themselves when they moved in and so they decided, yes, let’s set the name in stone. Or perhaps their decision was motivated more by their determination to be considered a serious art form. The Royal…
