Streets Ahead
Streets Ahead is a Column and subsection of TheAppWhisperer.com (one of the largest and most popular mobile photography websites in the world). It is a Column dedicated to sharing and highlighting some of the amazing work done by talented women in this community… as well as exploring the unique and fresh perspective that they bring to this genre. It is brought to you by Cara Gallardo Weil and Gina Costa both with natural flair and talent for mobile street photography. They believe that street photography is ready to move in a new direction and hope you will embark on this journey with them too to explore and debate the aesthetics, techniques, and perspectives that women bring to this new movement.

Streets Ahead – Challenge 3 – Showcase
Welcome to the showcase for our third challenge, ‘Layering’ (the use of reflections – in a building’s glass, a puddle or another shiny object.). The objective of these challenges is to help us collectively practice and perhaps learn some new techniques. Each challenge will be based either on a shooting technique or perhaps a theme. We would like Streets Ahead to be an interactive group, and for members to try to participate in the challenges. If you are a woman street photographer, please join our growing community. With many congratulations to Anne-Martine Parent, Annie Helmsworth, Armineh Hovanisan, Cecily Batey Caceu, Connie Rosenthal, Dani Salvadori, Donna Donato, Em Kachouro, Gina Costa, Jamie Glasser,…

Streets Ahead – Tired of Ads? Artist Acts Out!
Just posting this again as the link with attachment did not appear to work when I shared it directly with our Facebook group Streets Ahead. Not street photography per se but representative of street – fabulous idea! One that most definitely appeals to me and I’m sure it would to our readers here – imagine how beautiful the streets would be, graced with your wonderful artwork… See the complete article here

Streets Ahead – 30 Under 30: Women Photographers
Fabulous images and article from LensCulture highlighting Paris-based Photo Boite – now in its fifth year. “Photo Boite has featured 30 women photographers each year who are making work today that deserves worldwide attention. What is it like, then, to be a female photographer, to be a woman who has seized hold of an instrument of which she traditionally remains in front, and to use her eye to view the world, rather than use it to throw back a soft, muted glance into the receiving end of a male gaze? It may sound primitive to talk of the female photographer in such a way, but as the photographers of Photo…

Streets Ahead – Thirty Second Edition – Mobile Street Photography
Welcome to the 32nd edition of “Streets Ahead.” My Goodness, it’s hard to believe that we’re now in our 30’s! It’s also hard to believe that we’re already a few months into 2014. Yep. March is now upon us. However, as I’m sitting here writing this, I have a huge smile on my face that I can’t erase. For no other reason than March is “Women’s History Month.” Personally, I think that every day should be “Woman”s Day”… but I know that ain’t happening anytime soon. I am, however, grateful that this is the month where we become conscious and aware of all the wonderful and brilliant contributions women make…

Streets Ahead Interview: Christine Mignon
This week, the Women’s Mobile Street Photography Collective (Streets Ahead) is pleased and honoured to feature Christine Mignon in our interview segment. I first noticed Christine’s work when she posted some photos on the Hipstamatic page. Her composition and ability to capture moments caught my attention. She has a knack of catching juxtapositions and humorous situations as well as expressive portraits of people on the streets. I find it fascinating that she shoots most of her street shots from the hip without looking through the viewfinder. I highly recommend a visit to Christine’s gallery where you will see some of her other work as well as her street photography. ~ Cara Gallardo Weil Flickr:…

Streets Ahead – Thirtieth Edition – Street Mobile Photography
Welcome to our first installment of “Streets Ahead” for 2014! I have to confess, this showcase was not an easy one to curate. Our Flickr Group has collected such a wonderful pool of images from our membership… but unfortunately, we have only so much space allotted for this column. So… I highly suggest that after viewing this video, you pour yourself a cup of coffee and head over to Flickr for a proper tour. Also, before closing, I wanted to share one of my very favorite books with you that I’ve been revisiting this past month. It is one that I always turn to when I reach an artistic crossroad…
